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

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

person when the point-light walker is moving

Explanation:

A point light walker is an arrangement of dots that moves in a way that mimics a human walking. This is used in the field of Biological Motion Perception.

Biological motion perception is the science that deals with how our brain perceives motion. In order to understand how the brain perceives motion a point light walker is used.

If we interpret the large, angular rocks to have originated from the outcrop at the top of the hill, we are using __________ rea
IrinaK [193]

The reasoning which is in use when large, angular rocks are interpreted to have originated from the outcrop at the top of the hill is; Fossil succession

<h3>Fossil succession of rocks</h3>

The principle of fossil succession in characterized by the fact that fossil entities succeed one another upward through rock layers in a definite and determinable order.

On this note, any time period can be dated by its fossil content.

When the pendulum bob reaches the mean position, the net force acting on it is zero. Why then does it swing past the mean positi
ryzh [129]

Answer:

<u>The pendulum bob swing past the mean position because:</u>

When a pendulum's bob is accelerating at its extreme position its velocity is zero. Due to  the restoring toque the bob starts to accelerates towards its mean postion. The  maximum acceleration of the pendulum's bob  is -w^{2} Aand the the acceleration decreases as -w^{2} x  towards the mean position.

The acceleration at the mean position becomes zero but the velocity remains maximum. Hence the bob continues to move and does not stops.Thus it can summarised as the force decreases ,acceleration decreases and velocity increases at slow rate.

A horizontal line on a distance-time graph means the object is
IgorLugansk [536]
At rest because if the distance is not changing, then it is not moving any further, so it must not be moving! The time keeps going no matter what, so the distance, whether it is 0 m or 10,000 km, if the y is horizontal the distance does not change.
