This is called, The Doppler effect.

In short terms, when the trains is farther away the wavelength of the whistles sound are longer and more separate from each other, and more farther away from you, as it gets closer to you, the wavelengths start getting shorter and more louder the closer it gets to you. Basically the <span>wavelengths change because of the motion of the source.</span>

Sergio039 [100]
The answer is true: the pressure of a gas will decrease as temperature decreases in a rigid container.

This is one of the central gas laws called the Gay-Lussac law that states for a given gas at a constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. We also know that as temperature reduces, so too does molecular interaction. Increased temperature results in increased pressure, and decreased temperature therefore results in decreased pressure.

An athlete in a gym applies a constant force of 50 N to the pedals of a bicycle to keep the rotation rate of the wheel at 10 rev
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Force applied to pedal F = 50N

Angular velocity ω = 10rev/s

We know that, 1rev = 2πrad

Then, ω = 10rev/s = 10×2π rad/s

ω = 20π rad/s

Length of pedal r = 30cm = 0.3m

Power?

Power is given as

P = τ×ω

We need to find the torque τ

τ = r × F

Since r is perpendicular to F

Then, τ = 0.3 × 50

τ = 15 Nm

Then,

P = τ×ω

P = 15 × 20π

P = 942.48 Watts

power delivered to the bicycle by the athlete is 942.48 W
