Why does the frequency of a siren get higher as an ambulance using that siren gets closer

Physics

Fantom [35]3 years ago

Explanation:

Doppler effect: There is an apparent change in the frequency when there is relative motion between the source and the listener. This phenomenon is Doppler effect.

When the source and the listener are moving towards each other then the frequency of the wave increases.

In the given problem, the frequency of a siren gets higher as an ambulance using that siren gets closer. The frequency of the siren increases due to Doppler effect. The pitch of the sound also becomes louder as the pitch depends on the frequency.

The frequency of a wave becomes higher due to the object moving at a fast pace coming towards you with shorter wavelengths  (depending on the speed) aka the Doppler Effect.

Keep your lane position, and sound your horn while braking in a controlled manner. Sudden panic stops are not a good idea, as they could spook the animal, causing it to suddenly dart into the path of another vehicle.

Which object experiences the greatest gravitational force? A)car B)fire truck C)plane D)human
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: C Plane

Explanation: According to Newton's law, gravitational force is proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Gravitational force depends on mass. The bigger the mass, the more the magnitude of the gravitational force. Since plane is assume to have the highest mass in the options, we can therefore conclude that plane will experience the highest gravitational force.

Question 3 of 15
omeli [17]

Answer:

B) Degrees

Explanation:

The directions of the vectors are often defined in terms of due East, due North, due West and due South. A direction exactly in between of North and East can be described as Northeast, similarly we can describe directions in terms of Northwest, Southeast and South west.

From these, the direction of a vector can be easily expressed in degrees, which is measured counter clockwise about its tail from due East. Considering that we can say that East is at 0° , North is at 90° , West is at 180 and South is at 270° counter clockwise rotation from due East.

So, we know that the direction of a vector lying somewhere between due East i.e 0° and due North i.e 90°, will be measured in degrees, which will have a value between 0°-90°
