Answer:

The relative speed of the boat is found to be - 2 m/s or 2 m/s in opposite direction to the river current.

Explanation:

Let us, consider the direction of river as the reference of positive direction. Hence,

Speed of River = Vr = 8 m/s

Since, the boat is traveling upstream. The upstream direction means that the boat is traveling in the opposite direction of the river current. Therefore, its direction will be negative. Hence,

Speed of boat = Vb = - 10 m/s

Now, the relative speed will be the vector sum of both speeds, with relative directions:

Relative Speed = V = Vr + Vb

V = 8 m/s - 10 m/s

This shows that the magnitude of speed of boat is 2 m/s and its direction will be opposite to that of river current.

If the boat is i travling at 10 m/s and the river is 8.0 m/s the boats speed is 18.0 m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

If Bradley examination was done and interpreted in the same facility, the radiologist code is used example- procedure code 72100- Radiologic examination, spine, lumbosacral, 2 or 3 views is reported.

if the X-ray was taken by Dr X but Dr X does not read or interpret the image but forward it to the radiologist for initial report, then a 26- modifier is used. E.g A reports by the technologist would be, procedure code 72050-Radiologic examination, spine, cervical, 2 or 3

views or 72050- TC in certain situations and the consulting radiologist would report 72050-26.

if Bradley’s x-ray were sent to an independent radiologist for interpretation, then the procedure code 76140 is used in reporting.
