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.

Which of the following best approximates the percentages of sand, clay, and silt in a sandy loam? Use the soil texture table bel
Sholpan [36]
The answer is <span>b. 
Sand 60
Clay 10
Silt 30
Sandy loam should be dominated by the sand. As the amount of sand increaed, the amount of slit needed to anchor the plants' roots to the sand will also be increased. Even though the amount is very little, 10% part of clay is still necessary for proper oxidation.</span>

Which hypothenical scenerio would you result in the moon not having dofferent phases? A.The moon takes twice as long as it does
maw [93]
<span>The hypothetical scenario that would result in the moon not having different phases would be t</span>he moon always stays in one position relative to the earth and sun. Why? If the moon didn't have an phases it would stay in one position. Phases mean change, and if you observe the moon every night, you'll see how it changes; it repeats, so thus it's a pattern. 

So, your correct answer should be: <span>D.The moon always stays in one position relative to the earth and sun.</span>

A steel ball with mass m=5.21 g is moving horizontally with speed ????=412 m/s when it strikes a block of hardened steel with ma
docker41 [41]

Answer:

a) The speed of the block immediately after the collision is v_{2f}=(0.289\±0.002)m/s.

b) The impulse exerted on the block is p_{2}=(4.2772\±0.0296)kg*m/s.

Explanation:

Hi

a) As this is a perfectly elastic collision, we can use the formula  v_{2f}=(\frac{2m_{1} }{m_{1}+m_{2}} ) v_{1i}+ (\frac{m_{2}-m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} )v_{2i}, due v_{2i}=0m/s, we obtain v_{2f}=(\frac{2m_{1} }{m_{1}+m_{2}} ) v_{1i}. Then with the data that we know m_{1}=5.21g=0.00521kg, m_{2}=14.8kg and v_{1i}=412m/s, therefore v_{2f}=(\frac{2(0.00521kg) }{0.00521kg+14.8kg} ) 412m/s=0.289m/s or v_{2f}=(0.289\±0.002)m/s adding uncertainty.

b) Now that we know the speed we can use p_{2}=m_{2}*v_{f2} =14.8kg*(0.289\±0.002)m/s=(4.2772\±0.0296)kg*m/s.

If you are rowing a boat, you should be most concerned if you see a wave with which characteristic? help asap pls
3241004551 [841]
The best answer would be C. Amplitude is the measure of the distance between the crest and the center of the line, or the distance between the trough and the center of the line (like wave height). High waves are a sea danger, especially to small ships and rowboats.

HI PLEASE HELP!
butalik [34]

Answer:

Chemical reactions occur slower at lower temperatures and faster at higher temperatures. When you put a glow stick in cold water, the chemical reaction slows down but will last for a longer period of time. When you put a glow stick in hot water, the reaction speeds up but will be over quicker.

Explanation:

(self-explanatory)

I hope this helps, have a nice day.
