In optics, dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency. Media having this common property may be termed dispersive media. Sometimes the term chromatic dispersion is used for specificity.

Archy [21]
The answer is D. As the ambulance gets closer, the sound waves are compressed relative to the person; so the frequency increases.

Which properties of a lava lamp are important to remember when modeling convection?
Luba_88 [7]
Important thing when making a lava lamp are the two liquids with different density so that it would not mix and that it would expand when heated. The movement of the orange liquid is called convection. if you will not heat the orange one, it till just stay on the stop and not go under tha water.

A 3. 5-a current is maintained in a simple circuit with a total resistance of 1500 ω. What net charge passes through any point i
melamori03 [73]

Electric Current:

Electric current is the flow of charge through a given circuit per unit time. Electric current is one of the components needed to calculate the electric power that a device needs to operate and do work. Electric current is measured in amperes (A), which is equal to:

            1A = 1 C/ s

Recall that the coulomb (C) is the unit for charge while the second (s) is the unit for time

Given: I = 3.5

A is the current

Δt =30 s is the time interval

                     A =ΔQ/ΔT

Net charge = 100C

Electricity is produced when an electric current runs through a circuit.

How does electric current work?

A current of electricity is a steady flow of electrons. When electrons move from one place to another, round a circuit, they carry electrical energy from place to place like marching ants carrying leaves. Instead of carrying leaves, electrons carry a tiny amount of electric charge.

You are in charge of designing a movie stunt for a new Fast and Furious film. In this scene a stunt person has to jump from a br
blondinia [14]

Answer:

103.5 meters

Explanation:

Given that a stunt person has to jump from a bridge and land on a boat in the water 22.5 m below. The boat is cruising at a constant velocity of 48.3 m/s towards the bridge. The stunt person will jump up at 6.45 m/s as they leave the bridge.

The time the person will jump to a certain spot under the bridge can be calculated by using the formula below:

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

since the person will fall under gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Also, let assume that the person jump from rest, then, U = 0

Substitute h, U and g into the formula above

22.5 = 1/2 * 9.8 * t^2

22.5 = 4.9t^2

22.5 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 22.5/4.9

t^2 = 4.59

t = \sqrt{4.592}

t = 2.143 seconds

From definition of speed,

speed = distance /time

Given that the boat is cruising at a constant velocity of 48.3 m/s towards the bridge, substitute the speed and the time to get the distance.

48.3 = distance / 2.143

distance = 48.3 * 2.143

distance = 103.5 m

Therefore,  the boat should be 103.5m away from the bridge at the moment the stunt person jumps?
