Answer:
The answer depends on what object you are dropping. Are you dropping a balloon or a car? (I'm joking 'bout that one.) If the mass of the object is very little, then it might drop slower. If the mass is bigger, then it might drop faster.
Good luck!
Explanation:
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as,
Here,
= Frequency of Source
= Speed of sound
f = Frequency heard before slowing down
f' = Frequency heard after slowing down
v = Speed of the train before slowing down
So if the speed of the train after slowing down will be v/2, we can do a system equation of 2x2 at the two moments, then,
The first equation is,
Now the second expression will be,
Dividing the two expression we have,
Solving for v, we have,
Therefore the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12m/s
Most clouds form in the atmosphere when moist air rises expands and cool to the dew point. When the air above reaches its saturation point, the water vapor is attracted to dust particles which when they accumulate the hold on tho each other and form clouds. Evaporation and condensation is what causes saturation above. When the clouds become heavy enough with moisture, the water then fall to earth as rain. <span />
There's a very subtle thing going on here, one that could blow your mind.
Wherever we look in the universe, no matter what direction we look,
we see the light from distant galaxies arriving at our telescopes with
longer wavelengths than the light SHOULD have.
The only way we know of right now that can cause light waves to get
longer after they leave the source is motion of the source away from
the observer. The lengthening of the waves on account of that motion
is called the Doppler effect. (The answer to the question is choice-c.)
But that may not be the only way that light waves can get stretched. It's
the only way we know of so far, and so we say that the distant galaxies
are all moving away from us.
From that, we say the whole universe is expanding, and that right there is
one of the strongest observations that we explain with the Big Bang theory
of creation.
Now: If ... say tomorrow ... a competent Physicist discovers another way
for light waves to get stretched after they leave the source, then the whole
"expanding universe" idea is out the window, and probably the Big Bang
theory along with it !
Now that our mind has been blown, come back down to Earth with me,
and I'll give you something else to think about:
It's true that when we look at distant galaxies, we do see their light
arriving in our telescopes with longer wavelengths than it should have.
And then we use the Doppler effect to calculate how fast that galaxy
is moving away from us. That's all true. Astronomers are doing it
every day. I mean every night.
So here's the question for you to think about ... maybe even READ about:
When the light from a distant galaxy pours into our telescope, and we
look at it, and we measure its wavelength, and we find that the wavelength
is longer than it should be ... how do we know what it should be ? ? ?
