Explanation:

The Doppler effect states that "there is an decrease in frequency of sound, light and other forms of waves as the separation between the source and observer increases".

This leads to low pitch of sound being heard as source of sound moves away.

The Doppler effect also suggests that as a source approaches an observer, there is an increase in frequency of waves.

  • This is why the sound heard by a siren fades away as a police vehicle moves away.
  • Also, the intensity of light fades when we move away from it.

D

Sound wave compression affects the frequency of a moving source of sound. Frequency is greater as it approaches an observer and pitch of the sound also increases. As the object moves past the observer, the frequency decreases and the pitch is now lower. This principle is also used to find the speed of moving bodies as well as in determining approaching or receding stars based on the frequency or color shift of their light emissions.

A navigational beacon in deep space broadcasts at a radio frequency of 50 MHz. A spaceship approaches the beacon with a relative
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The frequency heard y the ship is 70 MHz.

Explanation:

True frequency, f = 50 MHz

speed of source, vs = 0

speed of observer, vo = 0.4 c

Let the frequency heard by the ship is f'.

Use the formula of doppler's effect

f' = \frac{v +v_o}{v+ v_s}f\\\\f' = \frac{c + 0.4 c}{c}\times 50\\\\f' = 1.4\times 50\\​\\f' = 70 MHz

Which is the most accurate description of the plasma state of matter? A. It has a fixed volume. B. Its shape is not fixed. C. It
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Its shape is not fixed

Explanation:

Plasma is sometimes a subset of gases, whereas it is also a state of matter.

These two states are different.

  No fixed shape for plasmas, no fixed volume.

Compared to solids and liquids plasmas are less dense.

 Atoms are used in the making of Plasma.

In plasma state ions are the positively charged nuclei

 

When they gain or lose electrons these atoms and molecules acquire a positive or negative electrical charge,  process is called ionization.

Explain briefly where the energy come from when a liquid Rises against Gravity in a capillary tube​
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Surface tension

Explanation:

When liquid rises against gravity in a capillary tube, the energy comes from surface tension.

This is because surface tension is the energy that's needed to increase the liquid surface area.

As a result of hydrogen bonding present in Water, it usually has high surface tension which makes it to possess a tough skin that can make it not to break despite high forces applied to it.

The liquid will be in contact with the capillary tube and as such experiences surface tension which in turn makes the capillary tube to experience an upward force that makes the liquid begin to rise up.

The more the liquid keeps rising, the more it gets to the point where the surface tension becomes balanced from the weight of the liquid.

When a 2.40-kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring described by Hooke's law, the spring stretches 2.92 cm.(a) Wh
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

805.48N/m

Explanation:

According to Hookes law

F = Ke

F is the force = mg

F = 2.4×9.8 = 23.52N

e is the extension = 2.92cm = 0.0292m

Force constant K = F/e

K = 23.52/0.0292

K = 805.48N/m

Hence the force constant of the spring is 805.48N/m
