Answer:

INCREASES, BECAUSE ITS ANGULAR MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED.

Explanation: Interstellar cloud of Hydrogen is an accumulation of Hydrogen gas in the cloud.

As the Interstellar cloud of Hydrogen shrinks (reduces) in size,the rate of rotation of the shrinked Interstellar cloud Increases because its angular momentum is conserved. GASEOUS MOLECULES MAKE UP ABOUT 99% OF THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUD WITH HYDROGEN HAVING ABOUT 90% OF THE VOLUME OF GASES IN THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUD.

If 20 beats are produced within one second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves traveli

NeTakaya

Answer:

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz

Explanation:

When two waves with different frequency travelling in the same medium meet each other, they produce an interference pattern called beat.
The frequency of the beat produced is equivalent to the difference between the individual frequencies of the two waves involved.
Therefore; in this case since the frequency of the beat is 20 Hz, that is from 20 beats per second.
We need to find a pair from the choices whose frequency difference is 20 Hz.
This happens to be choice D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz, that is 42 Hz - 22 Hz = 20 Hz
