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.
The frequency of sound waves from the siren decrease. As the police car drives past Sam, the sound waves increase in frequency.
The frequency of the sounds waves from the siren increase and continues to increase as the police car passes and drives away from Sam.

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.

What is the difference between a negative feedback system and a positive feedback system?
Anni [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g

  • Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.  
  •  When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.

At a certain instant, coil A is in a 10-T external magnetic field and coil B is in a 1-T external magnetic field. Both coils hav
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A) coil A

Explanation:

According to Faraday, Induced emf is given as;

E.M.F = ΔФ/t

ΔФ = BACosθ

where;

ΔФ  is change in magnetic flux

θ is the angle between the magnetic field, B, and the normal to the loop of area A

A is the area of the loop

B is the magnetic field

From the equation above, induced emf depends on the strength of the magnetic field.

Both coils have the same area and are oriented at right angles to the field.

Coil A has a magnetic field strength of 10-T which is greater than 1 T of coil B, thus, coil A will have a greater emf induced in it.

What is the difference between current electricity and static electricity
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The most significant difference between the static and current electricity is that in static electricity the charges are at rest and they are accumulating on the surface of the insulator. Whereas in current electricity the electrons are moving inside the conductor.
