Answer: The answer is Doppler effect.

Explanation:

When there is a relative motion between the source and the observer then there will be change in the frequency of the wave. This phenomenon is called Doppler effect.

For example,when the source and the observer are moving each other then the frequency increases in this case. When the source and the observer are moving away from other then the frequency decreases in this case.

Therefore, Doppler effect is the name of the perceived change in a sound wave's frequency due to motion between the observer and the sound source.

Answer: Hello mate!

the name is "doppler effect"

As you may know, the frequency (and hence the wavelength) of the sound determines the pitch.

If you move towards the source of the sound, the wavelenght seems shorter, which means that the frequency is higher, and also the pitch.

In the other case, if you are moving away from the sound, the wavelength seems larger and the frequency smaller, so the pitch is lower.

A proton and an electron are released from rest, with only the electrostatic force acting. Which of the following statements mus

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Explanation:

The only force between the proton and the electron is electric

Fe = k q1q2 / r2

Fe = - k e2 / r2

We can see that it is an attractive force (negative sign)

The electric power energy is

U = k q1 q2 / r

U = -k e2 / r

The kinetic energy is

K = ½ m v2

With the expressions for each term we can analyze the sentences :

Their electric potential energy increases. False,

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Kinetic energy decreases False

The acceleration decreases. False, as the force increases so does the acceleration

Bullets spin when shot from a rifle or handgun. What causes this spinning?

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin as it travels out of the barrel.

Find the ratio of the gravitational force between two planets if the masses of both planets are quadrupled but the distance betw

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The ratio of the new force over the original force is 16

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the gravitational force between two masses M1 and M2 separated a distance D:

$F_G=G\,\frac{M_1\,\,M_2}{D^2}$

So now, if the masses M1 and M2 are quadrupled and the distance stays the same, the new force becomes:

$F'_G=G\,\frac{4M_1\,\,4M_2}{D^2}=G\,\frac{16\,\,M_1\,\,M_2}{D^2}=16\,\,G\,\frac{M_1\,\,M_2}{D^2}= 16\,\,F_G$

which is 16 times the original force.

So the ratio of the new force over the original force is 16

The capacitor is now disconnected from the battery, and the plates of the capacitor are then slowly pulled apart until the separ

alexdok [17]

Answer:

U₁ = (ϵAV²)/6d

This means that the new energy of the capacitor is (1/3) of the initial energy before the increased separation.

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by (1/2) (CV²)

Energy in the capacitor initially

U = CV²/2

V = voltage across the plates of the capacitor

C = capacitance of the capacitor

But the capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometry of the capacitor is given by

C = ϵA/d

ϵ = Absolute permissivity of the dielectric material

A = Cross sectional Area of the capacitor

d = separation between the capacitor

So,

U = CV²/2

Substituting for C

U = ϵAV²/2d

Now, for U₁, the new distance between plates, d₁ = 3d

U₁ = ϵAV²/2d₁

U₁ = ϵAV²/(2(3d))

U₁ = (ϵAV²)/6d

This means that the new energy of the capacitor is (1/3) of the initial energy before the increased separation.
