Answer:

The wagon will move to the right.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 10 N

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 30 N

Direction of the wagon =.?

To determine the direction in which the wagon will move, we shall determine the net force acting on the wagon. This can be obtained as follow:

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 10 N

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 30 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fᵣ – Fₗ

Fₙ = 30 – 10

Fₙ = 20 N to the right

From the calculations made above, the net force acting on the wagon is 20 N to the right. Hence the wagon will move to the right.

Diagnostic ultrasound of frequency 4.50 MHz is used to examine tumors in soft tissue. (a) What is the wavelength in air of such

mafiozo [28]

(a) $7.62 \times 10^{-5} m$ is the wavelength in air of such a sound wave.

(b) $3.33 \times 10^{-4}\ m$ is the wavelength of this wave in tissue.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frequency and wavelength can be related by the equation,

Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency

$v=\lambda \times f$

where,

v - velocity of light for all EM (electromagnetic) waves in vacuum

Given:

f - 4.50 MHz = $4.50 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{Hz}$

a) To find the wavelength in air

We know,

Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Apply given frequency and speed of sound in air, we get

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{343}{4.5 \times 10^{6}}=76.2 \times 10^{-6}=7.62 \times 10^{-5}\ \mathrm{m}$

b) If the speed of sound in tissue is 1500 m/s, find the wavelength of this wave in tissue

Speed of sound in tissue, v = 1500 m/s

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{1500}{4.5 \times 10^{6}}=333.33 \times 10^{-6}=3.33 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{m}$

How are electricity and magnets connected?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Magnets are employed to generate electricity.

Explanation:

Magnets' characteristics are employed to generate electricity. Electrons are pulled and pushed by moving magnetic fields. When you move a magnet around a coil of wire, or a coil of wire around a magnet, the electrons in the wire are pushed out and an electrical current is created.
