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

A 0.20 kg mass (m1) hangs vertically from a spring and an elongation of the spring of 9.50 cm (r1) is recorded. With a mass (m2)
kupik [55]

Answer:

k=320N/m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

Let the initial/equilibrum position be x

mass m1= 0.2kg

F1= 0.2*10= 2N

elongation e= 9.5cm= 0.095m

mass m2=1kg

F2=1*10= 10N

elongation e= 12cm= 0.12m

Step two:

From Hooke's law, which states that provided the elastic limits of a material is not exceeded the extention e is proportional to applied Force F

F=ke

2=k(0.095-a)

2=0.095k-ka----------1

10=k(0.12-a)

10=0.12k-ka----------2

solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously

 

   10=0.12k-ka----------2

-   2=0.095k-ka----------1

   8=0.025k-0

divide both side by 0.025

k=8/0.025

k=320N/m

What happened to change people’s views and lead them to believe in continental drift?
True [87]
The shape of the continents had been observed, that they fit together like a puzzle; this is easy to see with Africa and South America. Volcanoes and earthquakes had been found to only erupt in certain places - at the plate boundaries. Also, similar fossils had been found where the continents may have been connected. When satellite was introduced, some plate boundaries could even be seen from outer space.
