Answer:

Because the moon returns to the same place on the sky once every siderial  period (27.3 days), but the sun is also moving on the sky.Cycle of lunar phases takes 29.5 days. This is called the SYNODIC PERIOD

An ultrasound unit is being used to measure a patient's heartbeat by combining the emitted 2.0 MHz signal with the sound waves r
alexandr402 [8]
Hi there, 
for this question we have:
Signal 2.0 MHz = Emitted so we can call it f_e
and we need the Reflected = f_{r}
In this question, we have a source which goes to the heart and a reflected which comes back from the heart and we need the speed of the reflected.
So you should know that the speed of reflected is lower than the source(Emitted). 
we also know: ΔBeat frequency(max) = 560 Hz = f_{b}
so we have: 
f_{e} - f_{r} = f_{b}
so frequency of Reflected is: 
2.0 × 10^6 Hz - 560 Hz = 1.99 × 10^6 Hz = f_{r}
now you know that Lambda = v/f 
so if we find the lambda with our Emitted then we can find v with the Reflected: 
Lambda = 1540(m/s) / 2.0 × 10^6 Hz = 7.7 × 10^-4 m 
=> v_{max} = (lambda)(f_{r} 
=> 7.7 × 10^-4m (1.99 × 10^6Hz) = 1532 m/s 
so the v_{max} is equal to 1532 m/s :)))
This question is solved by two top teachers as fast as they could :))
I hope this is helpful
have a nice day

A 0.10-kg ball, traveling horizontally at 25 m/s, strikes a wall and rebounds at 19 m/s. What is the 7) magnitude of the change
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Change in momentum will be -4.4 kgm/sec

So option (A) is correct option

Explanation:

Mass of the ball is given m = 0.10 kg

Initial velocity of ball v_1=25m/sec

And velocity after rebound v_2=-19m/sec

We have to find the change in momentum

So change in momentum is equal to =m(v_2-v_1)=0.1\times (-19-25)=-4.4kgm/sec ( here negative sign shows only direction )

So option (A) will be correct answer
