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

eflected from the moving tissue of one point on the heart. The beat frequency between the two signals has a maximum value of 520 Hz. What is the maximum speed of the heart tissue?

Answer: v= 0.2m/s

Explanation:

from Doppler effect

f = (2v/c) * fo

where:

f = the max beat frequency between two signals

fo = the emitted signal frequency from the organ.

v= The max speed of the organ tissue

c= 1540m/s (speed of Ultrasound wave in human tissue)

substituting the values, we have

520 Hz/ 2000000Hz = 2v/1540m/s

simplifying,

2v = (520 x 1540)/2000000

2v = 0.4004

v = 0.4/2 = 0.2 m/s

The max speed of the heart tissue is 0.2m/s

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=0.011\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of cycles in a spiral spring is 2.91 in every 3.67 s

The velocity of the pulse in the spring is 0.925 cm/s, v = 0.00925 m/s

To find,

Wavelength

Solution,

Number of cycles per unit time is called frequency of a wave. The frequency of the longitudinal pulse is,

f=\dfrac{2.91}{3.67}=0.79\ Hz

The wavelength of a wave is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{0.00925\ m/s}{0.79\ Hz}

\lambda=0.011\ m

So, the wavelength of the longitudinal pulse is 0.011 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two astronauts on opposite ends of a spaceship are comparing lunches. One has an apple, the other has an orange. They decide to
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall consider direction towards left as positive Let the required velocity be v and let v makes an angle φ

Applying law of conservation of momentum along direction of original motion

m₁ v₁  - m₂ v₂ = m₂v₃ - m₁ v₄

0.132 x 1.25 - .143 x 1.14 = 1.03 cos43 x .143 - v cos θ

v cos θ = .8

Applying law of conservation of momentum along direction perpendicular to direction of original motion

1.03 sin 43 x .143 = .132 x v sinθ

v sinθ = .76

squaring and adding

v² = .76 ² + .8²

v = 1.1 m /s

Tan θ = .76 / .8

θ = 44°
