<span>A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface.

 P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways</span>

Which are different ways ultrasound technology may be used? Check all that apply.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Detecting kidney stones and cancer, visualizing fetus in the womb

Explanation:

Ultrasound technology can be used in detecting kidney stones and cancer throat and also visualizing a fetus in the womb. The use of ultrasound for detecting kidney stones started around 1961. Ultrasound has also been used in detecting various types of cancer including throat cancer. The use of ultrasound in knowing the gender of fetus in hospitals has been used for a long time. However, it's not used for cleaning dirty surgical tools.  therefore, choice A, D and E apply.

  • Detecting kidney stones
  • Detecting throat cancer
  • Visualizing a fetus in the womb

Maximum range of a projectile is 1.6 m. Then the velocity of projection will be..... (g=10m/s)
qaws [65]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

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

Maximum range (Rₘₐₓ) = 1.6 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =?

The initial velocity of the projectile can be obtained as follow:

Rₘₐₓ = u² / g

1.6 = u² / 10

Cross multiply

u² = 1.6 × 10

u² = 16

Take the square root of both side

u = √16

u = 4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the projectile is 4 m/s

A ball is dropped from the top of a tall building h=5m about how long does it take for the ball to hit the ground.
pishuonlain [190]
D=-5m
a(gravity)=-9.8m/s^2
vi= 0m/s
t=?
use equation d=vi*t+0.5a*t^2
because vi=0, you can cross out vi*t because anything multiplied by 0= 0
rearrange the equation to say t^2=d/0.5a
t^2= -5/-4.9
t^2=1.02
find the square root...
final answer: t=1s

A 10-turn coil of wire having a diameter of 1.0 cm and a resistance of 0.50 Ω is in a 1.0 mT magnetic field, with the coil orien
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 10

Diameter = 1.0 cm

Resistance = 0.50 Ω

Capacitor = 1.0μ F

Magnetic field = 1.0 mT

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

\phi=NBA

Put the value into the formula

\phi=10\times1.0\times10^{-3}\times\pi\times(0.5\times10^{-2})^2

\phi=7.85\times10^{-7}\ Tm^2

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf

\epsilon=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Put the value into the formula

\epsilon=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}

Put the value of emf from ohm's law

\epsilon =IR

IR=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}

Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{R}

Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{0.50}

Idt=0.00000157=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C

We know that,

Idt=dq

dq=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C

We need to calculate the voltage across the capacitor

Using formula of charge

dq=C dV

dV=\dfrac{dq}{C}

Put the value into the formula

dV=\dfrac{1.57\times10^{-6}}{1.0\times10^{-6}}

dV=1.57\ V

Hence, The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.
