Suppose that the ultrasound source placed on the mother's abdomen produces sound at a frequency 2 MHz (a megahertz is 10^610 ​6

​​ Hz). Sound travels through tissue at roughly the same speed as in water (v\approx 1500v≈1500m/s). Find the maximum change in frequency between the sound that is emitted by the device and the sound that is observed at the wall of the baby's heart. Treat the heart wall as a moving observer. Hint: you will need to use your answer from part (a). Give your answer as a positive number in Hz.

Answer:

the maximum frequency observed is 2.0044 10⁶ Hz

Explanation:

This is a Doppler effect exercise. Where the emitter is still and the receiver is mobile, therefore the expression that describes the process is

          f ’= f_o \ ( \frac{v \pm  v_o}{v} )

the + sign is used when the observer approaches the source

typical speeds of a baby's heart stop are around 200 m / min

let's reduce to SI units

        v₀ = 200 m / min (1 min / 60 s) = 3.33 m / s

let's calculate

         f ’= 2 10⁶ (\frac{1500 \ \pm 3.33}{1500})  

         f ’= 2.0044 10⁶ Hz

         f ’= 1,9956 10⁶ Hz

therefore the maximum frequency observed is 2.0044 10⁶ Hz

Ah electron is a negatively charged particle that has a charge of magnitude, e - 1.60 x 10-19 C. Which one of the following stat
Advocard [28]

Answer:

The correct statement is "The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of \rm \dfrac{ke}{r^2} ".

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electric field due to a static point charge q at a point r distance away from it is given by

\rm E = \dfrac{k|q|}{r^2}.

  • k is the Coulmob's constant.

The direction of the electric field along the line joining the charge and the point where electric field is to be found and it is directed from positive charge to negative charge.

Conventionally, we assume a positive test charge placed at the point where electric field is to be found, the test charge has very small charge such that its charge does not affect the electric field due to the given charge.

The charge on the electron = -e.

The electric field due to an electron is given by

\rm E = \dfrac{k|-e|}{r^2}=\dfrac{ke}{r^2}.

The direction of this electric field is from positive test charge, placed at the point where electric field is to be found, towards the electron along the line joining the two.

Thus, the correct statement is "The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of \rm \dfrac{ke}{r^2} ".

A circuit contains four capacitors in parallel (10 F, 3 F, 7 F, and 1 F). What is the equivalent capacitance of this circuit?
Oxana [17]

The equivalent capacitance (C_{eq}) of an electrical circuit containing four capacitors which are connected in parallel is equal to: A. 21 F.

<h3>The types of circuit.</h3>

Basically, the components of an electrical circuit can be connected or arranged in two forms and these are;

  • Series circuit
  • Parallel circuit

<h3>What is a parallel circuit?</h3>

A parallel circuit can be defined as an electrical circuit with the same potential difference (voltage) across its terminals. This ultimately implies that, the equivalent capacitance (C_{eq}) of two (2) capacitors which are connected in parallel is equal to the sum of the individual (each) capacitances.

Mathematically, the equivalent capacitance (C_{eq}) of an electrical circuit containing four capacitors which are connected in parallel is given by this formula:

Ceq = C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + C₄

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Ceq = 10 F + 3 F + 7 F + 1 F

Equivalent capacitance, Ceq = 21 F.

Which of the following statements correctly describes the position of the intake and exhaust valves during most of the power sta
I am Lyosha [343]

Both valves are closed during the power stroke.

While the fuel is burning in the cylinder, you want
all the force of the expanding gases to push the
piston down ... you don't want any of the gases
or their pressure escaping. 

If either of the valves was open, even just a crack,
then part of the gases would go blooey out the valve,
and some pressure would be lost that's supposed to be
pushing the piston.

Which use combustion to release thermal energy?
julia-pushkina [17]
Heat of combustion.<span> The calorific value is the total energy released as heat when a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen under standard conditions. The chemical reaction is typically a hydrocarbon or other organic molecule reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water and release heat.</span>
