If you wanted the pitch of a horn to drop relative to an observer, which way would you move the horn, relative to where that obs

We assume that horn releases sound of constant frequency. In order for observer to observe different frequency either horn or observer or both must move.

This happens due to Doppler effect. It states that when position of source of sound and observer relative to each other changes, the observed frequency also changes. If the source emits sound of constant frequency than observed frequency will be either higher or lower than original.

When distance between source and observer increases the observed frequency will be lower. This is because same number of sound waves must cover greater distance so they have greater wavelength.
When distance between source and observer decreases the observed frequency will be higher. This is because same number of sound waves must cover smaller distance so they have smaller wavelength. 

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional meaning when one increases the other drecreases.

From this explanation we can find answer for our question. <span>If we wanted the pitch of a horn to drop relative to an observer we need to move horn away from an observer.</span>

Which wave must have a medium to travel?
o-na [289]

Letter B

without a medium, there is nothing to compress, hence, no wave. A fast- medium like a gas (air) is easy to compress and allows waves to move through it easily. a slow medium, like a liquid, is still pretty fast, but not as fast as air.

A bowling ball moving with a velocity of 5V to the right collides elastically with a beach ball moving at a velocity 2V to the l
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

v'_2=3V

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Bowling ball Speed v_1=5 m/s

Beach ball Speed v_2=2 m/s

Let The Mass be equal i.e

 M_1=M_2

Therefore

Generally the equation for Velocity of beach ball after collision v'_2 is mathematically given by

Since Velocity is Vector Quantity

Therefore

 v'_2=v_1-v_2

 v'_2=5-2

 v'_2=3V

In a compression wave, particles in the medium move
MissTica
<span>The particles through which compressional waves travel move in the same direction as the wave. This may be observed by fixing one end of a large spring and then compressing and extending the other end. The wave travels from one end to the other and the spring's parts move in the same direction.</span>
