gravitational force is the attraction force of earth on an object which is near the surface of earth

It will not depend on the velocity or acceleration of earth

So it will not change while an object is stationary or it is moving with some acceleration

So here we will say that force will remain the same

$F = mg$

A Explain why the sound produced by the horn of an approaching car

aleksklad [387]

When a car approaches you, the sound waves that reach you have a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency. You hear a sound with a higher pitch. When the car moves away from you, the sound waves that reach you have a longer wavelength and lower frequency.

?? ⬇️

An approaching source moves closer during period of the sound wave so the effective wavelength is shortened, giving a higher pitch since the velocity of the wave is unchanged. Similarly the pitch of a receding sound source will be lowered.

The Doppler effect is an effect observed in light and sound waves as they move toward or away from an observer. One simple example of the Doppler effect is the sound of an automobile horn. Picture a person standing on a street corner. A car approaches, blowing its horn.

Comparing two waves of the same wavelength, a higher frequency is associated with faster movement. Comparing two waves of different wavelengths, a higher frequency doesn't always indicate faster movement, although it can. Waves of different wavelengths can have the same frequency.

The pitch of a sound is our ear's response to the frequency of sound. Whereas loudness depends on the energy of the wave. ... The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency while loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of sound waves.

Simple Circuit and Ohm's Law Check-for-Understanding

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

current, only

Explanation:

current:I

voltage:U

resistance:R

formula: I=U/R

Increasing the battery cause the increasing in the voltage. Resistance does not normally change. And the current would increase.

A 100-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height h = 2RE .

maria [59]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

$F_g = F_c$

$\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

$\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$\frac{GM}{r} = v^2$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}$
