Answer:

Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) is used to measure body composition.

Explanation:

As a standard method for body composition analysis, DEXA has high accuracy along with hydrodensitometry. Its advantage is that it can measure the body composition of bone density, body fat and muscle mass for different parts.

a ultrasonic wave at 8x10^4 Hz is emitted into a vien where the speed of sound in blood is 1570 m/s. the wave reflects off the r

Aneli [31]

Answer: 0.392 m/s

Explanation:

The Doppler shift equation is:

$f'=\frac{V+V_{o}}{V-V_{s}} f$

Where:

$f=8(10)^{4} Hz$ is the actual frequency of the sound wave

$f'=8.002(10)^{4} Hz$ is the "observed" frequency

$V=1570 m/s$ is the speed of sound

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ is the velocity of the observer, which is stationary

$V_{s}$ is the velocity of the source, which are the red blood cells

Isolating $V_{s}$ :

$V_{s}=\frac{V(f'-f)}{f'}$

$V_{s}=\frac{1570 m/s(8.002(10)^{4} Hz-8(10)^{4} Hz)}{8.002(10)^{4} Hz}$

Finally:

$V_{s}=0.392 m/s$

A motorcycle is traveling east at a rate of 56mph.it take 6.7 s for it to decrease its speed to 35mph. How far does the motorcyc

Phantasy [73]

Initial speed = 56mph
Final speed = 35mph

Time taken = 6.7seconds...

Converting the time to hour.. Divide by 3600..
= 6.7/3600

=0.00186hour..

Acceleration = v-u/t

a = 35-56/0.00186
a = -11283.6mph²

The negative sign shows that it decelerated...

V² = u²+2as

(35)² = (56)² + 2×-11283.6×s
Where s is the distance covered within that time...

1225 = 3136 - 22567.2s

22567.2s = 3136-1225

22567.2s = 1911

S = 1911/22567.2

S = 0.08468miles...

But at the end of the question we were made to understand that 1miles = 5280ft

Therefore 0.08468miles = (0.08468×5280)ft

= 447. 11feets...

Which is approximately 447ft.....

If a force of 12 N is applied to an object

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

$m = \frac{12}{4} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
