    Is this Wavelength answer correct?

    The question is: Calculate the wavelength of a 1.5 MHz sound wave that is being transmitted through soft tissue. (This is Ultrasound physics, if you are wondering.) formula used: wavelength = velocity (1540 m/s) divided by 1.5 MHz MHz changes to 1.5 x 10^6 so I have: 1540m/s / 1.5 x 10^6...

    Studying for test please confirm this

    For a given system in which energy is conserved, how do you use the concept of conservation of energy to find the velocity of a falling object, given its mass, original height of elevation, and the distance it has fallen? Find Total Energy; @ high point PEmax=mgh; @btm point KEmax= ½ mv^2...
