Answer:

Fault

Explanation:

The answer is fault because.... A fault is formed in the Earth's crust as a brittle response to stress. Generally, the movement of the tectonic plates provides the stress, and rocks at the surface break in response to this. Faults have no particular length scale.

Q9. Man who received the most altercations for a theory which later on became a revolutionary theory influenced in many areas of modern science and technology.

Q10. Fire truck is coming towards you

Explanation:

Q9. Christian  Doppler was born on 29th of November 1803 in Saltzburg. After studies in Linz and Vienna, he graduated in Mathematics. For many years, Doppler struggled to find work in academia, and for a time he worked as a bookkeeper at a factory. His academic career took him from Austria to Prague, where he became assistant at the University and later worked as professor in Prague. Back to Vienna, he was appointed as professor at the Polytechnic School and in 1850 as first director of the new Institute of Physics. While working at Vienna, his health broke down and moved Venice where he sought his eternal rest on March 17th, 1953.

During his lifetime, the man was quite controversial: a personality praised by some, but detested by others; and even as a scientist, he had a difficult time. He did publish papers on magnetism, electricity, optics and astronomy but, the discovery that allowed him to remain in history of science was the one he presented at Royal Bohemian Society of Science entitled "On the colored light of the double stars and certain other stars of the heavens" in 1842. He hypothesized that the pitch of the sound would change if the source was moving.

Doppler's ideas were initially received with a certain amount of skepticism so, in order to support his claims, he devised an experiment in 1845 with the help of colleague. He used two sets of trumpeters, one set stationary at a train station and  one set moving on an open train car. Both sets of musicians had perfect pitch and held the same note. As the train passed the station, it was obvious that the frequency of the two notes didn't match, even though the musicians were playing same note. This proved his hypothesis.

Demonstrating that the Doppler effect also held true for frequency of ligh proved more difficult and was never successfully achieved before Doppler's demise. The first experiment that revealed a Doppler shift in starlight was carried out at the beginning of twentieth century. Since then Doppler effect was proved invaluable for astronomical observations.

For the most of the academic world, he is known as physicist; but one can equally find him on the list of mathematicians and astronomers too. This is proof for the exceptional broad spectrum of application of his main discovery.

Q10. When there is increase in frequency of the sound from source, then the source is moving towards you. Hence the fire truck is coming towards you

Which descriptions best fit the labels? X: kinetic energy Y: potential energy X: potential energy Y: kinetic energy X: mechanica
Pani-rosa [81]
W-APE. For example, work W done to accelerate a positive charge from rest is positive and results from a loss in PE, or a negative APE. There must be a minus sign in front of APE to make W positive. PE can be found at any point by taking one point as a reference and calculating the work needed to move a charge to the other point.

Alan leaves Los Angeles at 8:00 A.M. to drive to San Francisco 400 mi away. He manages to travel at a steady 50 mph in spite of
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

a) Beth will reach before Alan

b)Beth has to wait 20 min for Alan to arrive

Explanation:

let 'd' be distance b/w Los Angeles and San  Francisco i.e 400 mi

considering ,

Alan's speed v_A=50mph

Beth's speed v_B=60mph

->For Alan:

The time required t_A= d/v_A= 400/50 => 8h

-> For beth:

The time required t_B=\frac{d}{v_B} =\frac{400}{60} =>6\frac{2}{3} h => 6h 40m

Alan will reach at 8:00 a.m +8h = 4:00p.m.

Beth will reach at 9:00 a.m +6h 40m= 3:40p.m.

a) Beth will reach before Alan

b)Beth has to wait 20 min for Alan to arrive
