Question
Chapter 43, Problem 43.1DQ
To determine
Why protons are used in MRI of body tissues rather than neutrons.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 43.1DQ
Unlike free protons (
Explanation of Solution
The predominant components in any living body are organic molecules and water. The major content of these chemical entities are the hydrogen atoms or in other words the protons. Thus, the free proton content is huge enough to make proper response towards magnetic field and hence used in the MRI scanning.
However, in the case of neutrons, even though they have magnetic dipole moment and can undergo spin flip by absorbing electromagnetic radiation, they cannot be used in MRI. This is because there are virtually no free neutrons in the body and hence there will not be any proper response that can be expected due to neutrons, when a body tissue is subjected to the magnetic field of MRI.
Conclusion:
Therefore, unlike free protons (

The determined Wile E. Coyote is out once more to try to capture the elusive Road Runner of Loony Tunes fame. The coyote is strapped to a rocket, which provide a constant horizontal acceleration of 15.0 m/s2. The coyote starts off at rest 79.2 m from the edge of a cliff at the instant the roadrunner zips by in the direction of the cliff. If the roadrunner moves with constant speed, find the minimum velocity the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote. (proper sig fig)
Hello, I need some help with calculations for a lab, it is Kinematics: Finding Acceleration Due to Gravity. Equations: s=s0+v0t+1/2at2 and a=gsinθ. The hypotenuse,r, is 100cm (given) and a height, y, is 3.5 cm (given). How do I find the Angle θ1? And, for distance traveled, s, would all be 100cm? For my first observations I recorded four trials in seconds: 1 - 2.13s, 2 - 2.60s, 3 - 2.08s, & 4 - 1.95s. This would all go in the coloumn for time right? How do I solve for the experimental approximation of the acceleration? Help with trial 1 would be great so I can use that as a model for the other trials. Thanks!
