A prisoner tries to escape from a Nashville, Tennessee prison by hiding in the laundry truck. The prisoner is surprised when the

truck is stopped at the gate. A guard enters the truck and handcuffs him. "How did you know I was here?" the prisoner asks. "The heartbeat detector," says the guard.A heartbeat detector senses the tiny vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart. With each heartbeat, blood is pumped upward to the aorta, and the body recoils slightly, conserving the momentum of the blood-body system. The body's vibrations are transferred to the inside of the truck. Vibration sensors on the outside of the truck are linked to a geophone, or signal amplifier, attached to a computer. A wave analyzer program in the computer compares vibration signals from the truck to wavelets produced by heartbeat vibrations. The wave analyzer distinguishes a person's heartbeat from other vibrations in the truck or in the surrounding environment, allowing guards to detect the presence of a human in the truck.What does the heartbeat detector sense?1-Electric signals caused by electric dipole charges produced on the heart.2-Body vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart.3-Sound caused by breathing.4-Slight uncontrollable reflexive motions of an enclosed person.5-All of the above

Answer:

2. Body vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart.

Explanation:

From the passage, it can be deduced that the heartbeat detector senses the tiny vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart.

The prisoner asked the guard, "How did you know I was here?"

The guard responded,

"The heartbeat detector,"

3. What is the temperature if a 545-Hz sound wave has a wavelength of 0.651 m
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

19.33°C

Explanation:

To find the value of T you use the following formula:

v=343+0.61T

v: speed of sound

To calculate v you use:

v=\lambda f

λ: wavelength = 0.651m

f:  = 545Hz

by replacing :

v=(0.651m)(545s^{-1})=354.79m/s

Finally, by replacing in the first formula you obtain:

354.79=343+0.61T\\\\T=19.33\°C

T = 19.33°C

Lc circuit consists of a 20.0 mh inductor and a 0.150 µf capacitor. if the maximum instantaneous current is 0.400 a, what is the
slavikrds [6]
The following expression is applicable:

Max. inductor energy = Max. capacitor energy

Where;
Max. inductor energy = LI^2/2, with L = 20.0 mH, I = 0.400 A
Max. capacitor energy = CV_max^2/2, C = 0.150 micro Faraday, V_max = Max. potential difference

Substituting;
LI^2/2 = CV^2/2
LI^2 = CV^2
V^2 = (LI^2)/C
V_max = Sqrt [(LI^2)/C] = Sqrt [(20*10^-3*0.4^2)/(0.15*10^-6)] = 146.06 V

What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Magnitude of kinetic force is the product of the normal force and the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Explanation:

The kinetic frictional force is the force which is experienced in the moving surfaces of bodies.The magnitude of the force is affected by the coefficient of kinetic friction between the material of two bodies in contact. Mathematically, it is expressed as;

Fk=μk*η

where;

  • Fk=force of kinetic friction
  • μk=coefficient of kinetic friction
  • η=normal force

Pick 3 safety rules in science that you think are important and explain what would happen if the rules were no followed. Used yo
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Answer down below!

Explanation:

  1. Always wear goggles! This is to prevent chemicals or any other substance to get into your eyes. If this wasn't followed, more people could get hurt.
  2. Clean up afterwards! Its always better to clean up so someone else couldn't get hurt! If people don't follow this, it could be a mess and someone could get seriously injured.
  3. When smelling something, waft it to your face, and not get real close. This is to prevent getting chemicals into your body that could be poisonous. If people didn't folloe this, someone could be seriously sick.
