Expectant mothers many times see their unborn child for the first time during an ultrasonic examination. In ultrasonic imaging,

the blood flow and heartbeat of the child can be measured using an echolocation technique similar to that used by bats. For the purposes of these questions, please use 1500 m/s as the speed of sound in tissue. I need help with part B and C
To clearly see an image, the wavelength used must be at most 1/4 of the size of the object that is to be imaged. What frequency is needed to image a fetus at 8 weeks of gestation that is 1.6 cm long?
A. 380 kHz
B. 3.8 kHz
C. 85 kHz
D. 3.8 MHz

Answer:

<em>380 kHz</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The speed of sound is taken as 1500 m/s

The length of the fetus is 1.6 cm long

The condition is that the wavelength used must be at most 1/4 of the size of the object that is to be imaged.

For this 1.6 cm baby, the wavelength must not exceed

λ = \frac{1}{4} of 1.6 cm = \frac{1}{4} x 1.6 cm = 0.4 cm =

0.4 cm = 0.004 m   this is the wavelength of the required ultrasonic sound.

we know that

v = λf

where v is the speed of a wave

λ is the wavelength of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

f = v/λ

substituting values, we have

f = 1500/0.004 = 375000 Hz

==> 375000/1000 = 375 kHz ≅ <em>380 kHz</em>

What is the formula that describes the magnitude of impulse on an object?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Option C.

Impulse = mass × change in velocity

Explanation:

Impulse is defined by the following the following formula:

Impulse = force (F) × time (t)

Impulse = Ft

From Newton's second law of motion,

Force = change in momentum /time

Cross multiply

Force × time = change in momentum

Recall:

Impulse = Force × time

Thus,

Impulse = change in momentum

Recall:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Momentum = mv

Chang in momentum = mass × change in velocity

Change in momentum = mΔv

Thus,

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in velocity

Determine which heat transfers below are due to the process of conduction. I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns y
Rudik [331]

I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns your toes.

The road is in direct contact with your skin. Thermal energy from the road will transfer to the bottom of your feet, then to the rest of your body. This is an example of conduction.


II) When you get into a car with hot black leather in the middle of the summer and your skin starts to get burned.

Just like in the previous example, the hot leather is in direct contact with your skin (I guess if you're going to drive naked). Thermal energy from the leather will transfe to your skin, then to the rest of your body. This is also conduction.


III) A flame heats the air inside a hot air balloon and the balloon rises.

The flame heats air directly at the bottom of the balloon. The warm air expands and becomes less dense. This will rise and let the unheated, denser air in the balloon fall down toward the flame. This is an example of the convection cycle.


IV) A boy sits to the side of a campfire. He is 10 feet away, but still feels warm.

The campfire heats air directly nearby. The warm air expands and moves away from the fire in all directions, leaving behind unheated, denser air to be heated up. Some of the warm air reaches the boy. This is another example of convection.


The answer is A) 1 and 2.

You drop two balls of equal diameter from the same height at the same time. Ball 1 is made of metal and has a greater mass than
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The drop time ball 1 is less than the drop time of ball 2. A further explanation is provided below.

Explanation:

The net force acting on the ball will be:

⇒ F_{net}=mg-F_r

Here,

F = Force

m = mass

g = acceleration

Now,

According to the Newton's 2nd law of motion, we get

⇒ F_{net} = ma

To find the value of "a", we have to substitute "F_{net}=ma" in the above equation,

⇒ ma=mg-F_r

⇒    a=g-\frac{F_r}{m}

We can see that, the acceleration is greater for the greater mass of less for the lesser mass. Thus the above is the appropriate solution.
