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.

A pencil has a density of 0.875 g/ml. It has a volume of 4.0 ml. Find the mass
loris [4]

Answer:

To find the mass using density and volume we just multiply them against each other which causes ml to cancel and just leaves us with grams which represents how much the item weights.

mass=density*volume

mass=0.875\frac{g}{ml}*4.0\ ml

mass=3.5\ g

Therefore, our final answer is that our pencil weight 3.5 grams

Water flows without friction vertically downward through a pipe and enters a section where the cross sectional area is larger. T
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

v_{2} will be less than v_{1} and P_{2} will be greater than P_{1}.

Explanation:

As we know from the conservation of mass, the rate at which any amount of fluid mass (m_{1}) is entering in a system is equal to the rate at which the same amount of fluid mass (m_{2}) is leaving the system.

Rate of mass flow can be written as,

m = \rho A v

where \rho is the density of the fluid, A is the area through which the fluid is flowing and v is the velocity of the fluid.

Now, according to the problem, as the density of the fluid does not change, we can write

&& m_{1} = m_{2}\\&or,& \rho A_{1} v_{1} = \rho A_{2} v_{2}\\&or,& \dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \dfrac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}

where A_{1} and A_{2} are the cross-sectional areas through which the fluid is passing and v_{1} and v_{2} are the velocities of the fluid through the respective cross-sectional areas.

As according to the problem, A_{2} > A_{1}, so from the above formula v_{2} < v_{1}.

Also we know that fluid pressure is created by the motion of the fluid through any area. When the fluid gains speed, some of its energy is used to move faster in the fluid’s direction of motion. It causes in a lower pressure.

So, as in this case v_{2} < v_{1} the pressure in the large cross-sectional area P_{2} will be greater than the pressure  P_{1} in the small cross sectional area, i.e.,

P_{2} > P_{1}.
