Kenneth observes that as an ambulance approaches him, the pitch of the sound of the siren is higher, and the pitch decreases whe

n the ambulance moves away from him. Which of the
following is the possible scientific reason for the situation?
A The wavelength of the sound wave gets shorter, and hence the pitch gets higher
B. The wavelength of the sound wave gets longer, and hence the pitch gets higher
C. The wavelength of the sound wave does not affect the pitch
D. The wavelength of the sound wave changes the speed of the wave

Answer: A.

Explanation:

Since pitch and frequency are the same thing when frequency is higher the wavelength decreases and A is the only valid answer.

lianna [129]

Answer:

\dot n_{f} = 85.177\,rpm

Explanation:

The expression for the moment of inertia of the person is:

Arms outstretched

I = \frac{1}{12}\cdot (0.13)\cdot (61\,kg)\cdot (1.40\,m)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.87)\cdot (61\,kg)\cdot (0.35\,m)^{2}

I = 4.546\,kg\cdot m^{2}

Arms parallel to the trunk

I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (61\,kg)\cdot (0.35\,m)^{2}

I = 3.736\,kg\cdot m^{2}

The final angular speed is found by means of the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

I_{o}\cdot \dot n_{o} = I_{f}\cdot \dot n_{f}

\dot n_{f} = \frac{I_{o}}{I_{f}}\cdot \dot n_{o}

\dot n_{f} = \left(\frac{4.546\,kg\cdot m^{2}}{3.736\,kg\cdot m^{2}}\right)\cdot (70\,rpm)

\dot n_{f} = 85.177\,rpm

Describe what long sight is and how it is corrected with a lens
o-na [289]

If long sight means farsighted, then here's your answer:

Farsightedness is when the lens has difficulty focusing on nearby objects. Sufferers must squint to see the nearby objects. Reading, writing, and drawing for longer periods of time can cause eyestrain and headache.

Being farsighted can be corrected with prescription glasses or contact lenses or surgery.

A ball is dropped from a height of 80m. The time, in seconds, it takes to reach the ground is:__________.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

4.04 s

Explanation:

h = vi + 1/2 a t ^2

HERE  h = 80 m , vi = 0 , a =9.81 m/s^2

80 = 0 + 1/2 × 9.81 × t ^2

80 = 4.905 t^2

t^2 = 80/4.905

t ^2 = 16.30988

t = square root of 16.30988

t =  4.0385 s

t = 4.04 s

In an exothermic reaction, the products have _____.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: In an exothermic reaction, the products have  less energy than the reactants.

Explanation: There are two types of reactions:

1. Endothermic reactions: These are the reactions in which energy is required in the reaction. The energy of the products are more than the energy of the reactants.

2. Exothermic reactions: These are the reactions in which energy is released in the reaction. The energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants.

Hence, in an exothermic reaction, the products have  less energy than the reactants.
