As surface area increases, weathering rate

1 answer:

8 0

A rock's exposure to the weathering elements and its surface area can affect its rateof weathering. Rocks that are constantly bombarded by running water, wind, and other erosion agents, will weather more quickly. Rocks that have a large surface areaexposed to these agents will also weather more quickly.

hope this helps some .-.

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

Rzqust [24]

A) A. 380 kHz

To clerly see the image of the fetus, the wavelength of the ultrasound must be 1/4 of the size of the fetus, therefore

$\lambda=\frac{1}{4}(1.6 cm)=0.4 cm=0.004 m$

The frequency of a wave is given by

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where

v is the speed of the wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the ultrasound wave in this problem, we have

v = 1500 m/s is the wave speed

$\lambda=0.004 m$ is the wavelength

So, the frequency is

$f=\frac{1500 m/s}{0.004 m}=3.75\cdot 10^5 Hz=375 kHz \sim 380 kHz$

B) B. f(c+v)/c−v

The formula for the Doppler effect is:

$f'=\frac{v\pm v_r}{v\pm v_s}f$

where

f' is the apparent frequency

v is the speed of the wave

$v_r$ is the velocity of the receiver (positive if the receiver is moving towards the source, negative if it is moving away from the source)

$v_s$ is the speed of the source (positive if the source is moving away from the receiver, negative if it is moving towards the receiver)

f is the original frequency

In this problem, we have two situations:

- at first, the ultrasound waves reach the blood cells (the receiver) which are moving towards the source with speed

$v_r = +v$ (positive)

- then, the reflected waves is "emitted" by the blood cells (the source) which are moving towards the source with speed

$v_s = -v$

also

v = c = speed of sound in the blood

So the formula becomes

$f'=\frac{c + v}{v - v_s}f$

C. A. The gel has a density similar to that of skin, so very little of the incident ultrasonic wave is lost by reflection

The reflection coefficient is

$R=\frac{(Z_1 -Z_2)^2}{(Z_1+Z_2)^2}$

where Z1 and Z2 are the acoustic impedances of the two mediums, and R represents the fraction of the wave that is reflected back. The acoustic impedance Z is directly proportional to the density of the medium, $\rho$ .

In order for the ultrasound to pass through the skin, Z1 and Z2 must be as close as possible: therefore, a gel with density similar to that of skin is applied, in order to make the two acoustic impedances Z1 and Z2 as close as possible, so that R becomes close to zero.

A wave has a wavelength of 0.5 m and a frequency of 5.0 Hz. What is the speed of the wave?

mylen [45]

The correct option is (A) 2.5 m/s

Explanation:
Since,

v = fλ ---- (1)

where v = speed of the wave
f = frequency of the wave = 5 Hz
λ = wavelength of the wave = 0.5

Plug in the value in (1):
(1) => v = 5 * 0.5
v = 2.5 m/s
