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

if heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object it has been transferred by what ?
Katarina [22]

When heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object , it is known as heat transfer by conduction.

In conduction, the heat transfer takes place within an object or between two objects in contact until the temperature becomes uniform. this kind of heat transfer continues until the temperature at two ends between which the heat transfer take place , becomes equal.  Heat transfer takes place from point at high temperature to point at lower temperature.

Use newton's third law to explain why a blown up balloon but untied balloon will fly around the room when you let it go? really
den301095 [7]
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The balloon travels in the opposite direction as the air escaping from it. So when gas is released from the balloon it pushes against the outside air and the outside air pushes back. As a result of this the rocket is propelled forward by the opposing force. This opposing force is thrust. 

Hope this helps!

How does the cell membrane work to protect the cell?
LenKa [72]
It forms a protective and adaptive barrier around a cell and this keeps various bacterial and viral intruders out. They also help in keeping cell systems inside the cell. The shell absorbs viruses and bacteria for nutrients when they do not have a certain strand to get inside the cell or trick it otherwise. Hope this helped!

Answer:

The answer is below!!

Explanation:

Gamma-rays

Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells.

Hope I Helped!!!
