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>

At what speed, as a fraction of c, will a moving rod have a length 65% that of an identical rod at rest
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

v/c = 0.76

Explanation:

Formula for Length contraction is given by;

L = L_o(√(1 - (v²/c²))

Where;

L is the length of the object at a moving speed v

L_o is the length of the object at rest

v is the speed of the object

c is speed of light

Now, we are given; L = 65%L_o = 0.65L_o, since L_o is the length at rest.

Thus;

0.65L_o = L_o[√(1 - (v²/c²))]

Dividing both sides by L_o gives;

0.65 = √(1 - (v²/c²))

Squaring both sides, we have;

0.65² = (1 - (v²/c²))

v²/c² = 1 - 0.65²

v²/c² = 0.5775

Taking square root of both sides gives;

v/c = 0.76

Which trial’s cart has the greatest momentum at the bottom of the ramp?
Licemer1 [7]
The momentum of each cart is given by:
p=mv
where
m is the mass of the cart
v is its velocity (at the bottom of the ramp)

To answer the problem, let's calculate the momentum of each of the 4 carts:
1) p=(200 kg)(6.5 m/s)=1300 kg m/s
2) p=(220 kg)(5.0 m/s)=1100 kg m/s
3) p=(240 kg)(6.4 m/s)= 1536 kg m/s
4) p=(260 kg)(4.8 m/s)=1248 kg m/s

Therefore, the cart with greatest momentum is cart 3, so the right answer is
<span>- trial 3, because this trial has a large mass and a large velocity</span>

Sobre un gas contenido en un cilindro provisto de un pistón se realiza un trabajo de 7000 Joules, mediante un proceso isotérmico
natita [175]

Answer:

En un proceso isotérmico, es decir, la temperatura no cambia, el trabajo puede escribirse como:

W = n*R*T*Ln(P1/P2)

Donde P1 es la presión inicial y P2 la presión final.

Donde las cantidades:

n =  número de moles

R = constante de los gases ideales

T = temperatura no cambian.

Y sabemos que la ecuación de la energía interna es:

U = C*n*R*T

Donde C es otra constante que depende del gas.

De aca, podemos concluir que ninguna de estas variables cambia en nuestro proceso, por lo que la variación de la energía interna es cero.

U2 - U1 = 0

b) Para el calor cedido o absorbido, la formula básica es:

ΔQ = C*(T2 - T1)

Donde ΔQ es el calor absorbido o cedido por el gas, C es una constante que depende del gas, T2 es la temperatura final del gas y T1 es la temperatura inicial del gas.

Como la temperatura no cambia en el proceso, entonces:

T2 = T1

ΔQ = C*(T2 - T1) = C*0 = 0

No hay calor absorbido ni cedido.

c) Podemos concluir que en un proceso isotérmico la energía interna no cambia, y no hay un intercambio de calor.
