An ultrasound beam is incident on liver tissue at an angle of 50 degrees. This beam undergoes refraction at the interface betwee

n the fluid above and the liver. It then reflects off the interface of the liver and tumor and is detected as exiting the liver 12.0 cm displaced from where it entered. Use this information to determine the depth of the tumor in the liver. Assume that the index of fraction for ultrasound waves in the liver is 1.2 times that of the fluid above (n_"liver"

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the angle of refraction be θ .

sin 50 / sinθ = μ₂ /μ₁ , μ₂  is index of refraction of liver which is 1.2 times μ₁ .

sin 50 / sinθ = 1.2

sinθ =  sin 50 / 1.2

= .6384

θ = 40°

If we take d is depth of tumer in the lever

d  is base of the triangle within tumer , 1.2 / 2 = .6 cm is the perpendicular with respect to angle of refraction of 40° .

.6 / d = tan 40

d = .6 / tan40

=  .715 cm .

leva [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the magnetic field be B = B₁i + B₂j + B₃k

Force = I ( L x B )  , I is current , L is length and B is magnetic field .

In the first case

force = - 2.3 j N

L = 2.5 i

puting the values in the equation above

- 2.3 j = 8 [ 2.5 i x ( B₁i + B₂j + B₃k )]

= - 20 B₃ j + 20 B₂ k

comparing LHS and RHS ,

20B₃ = 2.3

B₃ = .115

B₂ = 0

In the second case

L = 2.5 j

Force = I ( L x B )

2.3i−5.6k = 8 ( 2.5 j x (B₁i + B₂j + B₃k )

=  - 20 B₁ k + 20B₃ i

2.3i−5.6k = - 20 B₁ k + 20B₃ i

B₃ = .115

B₁ = .28

So magnetic field B = .28 i + .115 B₃

Part A

x component of B = .28 T

Part B

y component of B = 0

Part C

z component of B = .115 T .

If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?
vovikov84 [41]

Complete Question

In an action movie, the villain is rescued from the ocean by grabbing onto the ladder hanging from a helicopter. He is so intent on gripping the ladder that he lets go of his briefcase of counterfeit money when he is 130 m above the water. If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?

Answer:

The speed of the helicopter is u  =  7.73 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height at which he let go of the brief case is  h =  130 m  

    The  time taken before the the brief case hits the water is  t =  6 s

Generally the initial speed of the  briefcase (Which also the speed of the helicopter )before the man let go of it is  mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as

      s = h+  u t +  0.5 gt^2

Here s  is the distance covered by the bag at sea level which is zero

      0 = 130+  u * (6) +  0.5  *  (-9.8) * (6)^2

=>    0 = 130+  u * (6) +  0.5  *  (-9.8) * (6)^2

=>   u  =  \frac{-130 +  (0.5 * 9.8 *  6^2) }{6}

=>   u  =  7.73 \  m/s

Julia jumps straight upward on mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.7\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}3.7 s 2 m ​ 3, po
liberstina [14]

We know the equation of motion v = u+ at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

In this case Final velocity = -3.1 m/s, negative sign indicates it is pointing downward.

acceleration = - 3.7m/s^2 . Negative means acceleration is towards center of planet Mars.

Time taken = 3 seconds

v = u + at\\ \\-3.1 = u-3.7*3\\ \\u = 8 m/s

So jumping velocity of Julia = 8 m/s

DiKsa [7]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

The simulation kept track of the variables and automatically recorded data on object displacement, velocity, and momentum. If the trials were run on a real track with real gliders, using stopwatches and meter sticks for measurement, the data compared by the following statements:

1. (There would be variables that would be hard to control, leading to less reliable data.)

3. (Meter sticks may lack precision or may be read incorrectly.)

4. (Real glider data may vary since real collisions may involve loss of energy.)

5. (Human error in recording or plotting the data could be a factor.)

vodomira [7]

Answer:

A sample of 5.2 mg  decays to .65 mg or to 1/8 of its original amount.

1/8 = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 or 3 half-lives.

3 * 30.07 = 90 yrs for 5.2 mg to decay to .65 mg

You can get these other numbers similarly:

5.2 / .0102 = 510  requires about 9  half-lives which is 30 * 9 = 270 yrs
