Why did boy (the observer) hear the pitch of the sound change? What does this tell us about the frequency of the sound? Support

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

because of the doppler effect

Explanation:

Remember, the doppler effect refers to the changes in sound (frequency of sound) observed by a person who is in a position relative to the wave source.

In this example, we notice as the train comes closer to the boy, the sound becomes louder also increasing the pitch slightly, the doppler effect sets in when the train passes the boy because the boy notices a decrease in the pitch of the moving train.

We learn from the change in the observed sound of the train that the frequency of the sound is determined by the distance of the observer from the wave source.

In other words, the closer the source of the sound to the observer; the faster it travels to the observer, however, the farther it is; the lesser it is; the greater the sound heard.

A model air rocket with a mass of 50.g is free to travel along a horizontal track. It begins from rest. After 2.0s, the rocket h

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

$v_r=5.89\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of rocket, $m_r=50\ g$

time of observation, $t=2\ s$

mass lost by the rocket by expulsion of air, $m_a=10\%\ of m_r=5\ g$

velocity of air, $v_a=53\ m.s^{-1}$

Now the momentum of air will be equal to the momentum of rocket in the opposite direction: (Using the theory of elastic collision)

$m_a.v_a=(m_r-m_a)\times v_r$

$5\times 53=(50-5)\times v_r$

$v_r=5.89\ m.s^{-1}$

Why do the passengers in high-altitude jet planes feel the sensation of weight while passengers in an orbiting space vehicle, su

kykrilka [37]

Passengers in an aircraft are subject to the Normal and Gravity Force acting on them at a low 'orbit', so tiny that it can be many times compared to the same surface of the earth when speaking in general terms.

In a high orbit space vehicle or in the same space, said force decreases considerably or simply disappears, generating the sensation of weightlessness.

Remember that the Force of Gravity is given under the principle

$F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal constant

M = Mass of the planet

m = mass of the object

r = Distance from center of the planet

When the radius grows considerably the gravitational force begins to decrease.

Three 7 0hm resistors are connected in series across a 10 V battery. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?

Tomtit [17]

Given

Three 7 ohm resistor are in series.

The battery is V=10V

To find

The equivalent resistance

Explanation

When the resistance are in series then the resistance are added to find its equivalent.

Thus the equivalent resistance is:

$R=7+7+7=21\Omega$

Conclusion

The equivalent resistance is 21 ohm
