Sam is walking through the park. He hears a police car coming down the street toward him. What happens to the sound of the siren

as the police car approaches and then passes Sam?
Sound waves from the siren remain constant. As the police car drives past Sam, the sound waves decrease in frequency.
The frequency of sound waves from the siren increase. As the police car continues past Sam, the sound waves decrease in frequency.

I believe it is the first one.
This is because of the Doppler Effect. 
The Doppler Effect is when the frequency of the wave changes for an observer moving relative to the wave source.
Basically, as the police car moves away from you, the distance between you and the car increases, which makes the sound waves spread out.

Answer:

The correct answer is "The frequency of sound waves from the siren increase. As the police car continues past Sam, the sound waves decrease in frequency."

Explanation:

The correct answer is "The frequency of sound waves from the siren increase. As the police car continues past Sam, the sound waves decrease in frequency."

This is due to the effect called "Doppler Effect".

The Doppler effect is defined as the change in apparent frequency of a wave produced by the relative movement of the source with respect to its observer. In other words, this effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the sender and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other.

According to this effect, the frequency perceived by the receiver will increase when the receiver and sender increase their separation distance and will decrease whenever the separation distance between them is reduced. As mentioned, then when the police car approaches Sam, the wave "compresses", that is, the wavelength is short, and the frequency is high. On the other hand, when the police car moves away, the wave "decompresses", that is, the wavelength is long and the frequency low.

How did de broglie conclude that electrons have a wave nature
eimsori [14]
<h2>Answer: By the double slit experiment applied to electrons</h2>

The French physicist Louis De Broglie proposed the existence of matter waves, that is to say that <u>all matter has a wave associated with it.</u>  

On the other hand, Heisenberg enunciated the uncertainty principle, which postulates that the fact that <u>each particle has a wave associated with i</u>t, imposes restrictions on the ability to determine its position and speed at the same time.  

These postulations were tested with the double slit experiment (formerly applied to photons) applied to electrons, and the result was: electrons (as well as the other particles different from the photons) are able to behave as waves.

What happens to the speed of the electrons when the resistance is decreased?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

they slow down

Explanation:

Because number of electrons remain same in the closed circuit or wire, due to conservation of charge in any case. But due to addition of a external resistor current will decreases, by applying ohm's law( V=IR).

A & C

Explanation:

The combination of the earth's weak gravity and its closeness to the sun does not allow it to hold hydrogen and helium gases in its atmosphere. Its relative closeness to the sun means it is hot enough such that the helium and hydrogen molecules would have high kinetic energy. Remember that gravity acts strongly on larger masses, therefore it would require very strong gravity to have an influence on lighter gas molecules like hydrogen and helium let alone when they have a high kinetic energy. This means these molecules can easily escape the earth’s atmosphere into space.

Planets that are larger (meaning they have a stronger gravity) and farther from the sun (meaning these molecules won't have a very high kinetic energy) are able to hold these lighter gases in their atmosphere. Examples of such planets are Jupiter.
