Why does a siren have a higher pitch as it approaches you?

Answer:

Apparent Increase in Wave Frequency

As the ambulance approaches you, the distance between the source of the waves and the observer decreases. Consequently, the siren sounds more shrill as the pitch of the wailing siren 'sounds' higher than its original value, as sound waves reach you 'more frequently'.

1. Suppose y varies directly as x. If y = 3 when x = 15. then find x when y = 5.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

when y=3,X=15

here X is five times the value of y

so now when y= 5 then the value of X will be 25

hope you understand......

Given m|n, find the value of x and y.
galben [10]

We know that m ║ n.

Let's first find the value 'x'.

When two lines are parallel, and a transversal is drawn, the angles on the same side of the transversal are equivalent.

This means that (5x + 16)° and (7x + 4)° are equivalent.

Equating them,

5x + 16 = 7x + 4

16 - 4 = 7x - 5x

12 = 2x

x = 12/2

x = 6°

Since we know the value of 'x', let's substitute them into the angles and find out the actual measurements.

5x + 16 = 5 × 6 + 16 = 30 + 16 = 46°.

7x + 4 = 7 × 6 + 4 = 42 + 4 = 46°.

Now let's find the value of 'y'.

If you observe carefully, (7x + 4)° and (y + 6)° form a linear pair.

This means that both those angles should add upto 180°.

Using that theory, the following equation can be framed:

(y + 6)°+ (7x + 4)° = 180°

Since we know the actual value of (7x + 4)°, let's substitute that value and move ahead.

(y + 6)° + 46° = 180°

y + 6 + 46° = 180

y + 52° = 180°

y = 180° - 52°

y = 128°

Therefore, the values of 'x' and 'y' are 46° and 128° respectively.

Hope it helps. :)
