The sound you hear as the siren gets closer will increase in pitch and that will decrease as it moves away from you.

Explanation:
Sound is a longitudinal pressure wave. As the ambulance moves closer to you, the air molecules get compressed together. The wavelength of the sound (these pressure waves) decreases, and the frequency increases. That results in a higher sound pitch.

hydraulic lift is to be used to lift a 2100-kg weight by putting a weight of 25 kg on a piston with a diameter of 10 cm. Determi
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

840 cm

Explanation:

Note: A hydraulic press operate based on pascal's principle.

From pascal's principle

W₁/d₁ = W₂/d₂...................... Equation 1

Where W₁ and W₂ are the first and second weight, and d₁ and d₂ are the  first and second diameter of the piston.

make d₁ the subject of the equation

d₁ = W₁×d₂/W₂................ Equation 2

Given: W₁ = 2100 kg, W₂ = 25 kg, d₂ = 10 cm = 0.1 m.

Substitute these values into equation 2

d₁ = 2100(0.1)/25

d₁ = 8.4 m

d₁ = 840 cm

A container of gas is at a pressure of 1.3x10^5 Pa and a volume of 6 m^3. How much work is done by the gas if it expands at a co
Ivenika [448]
In thermodynamics, work of a system at constant pressure conditions is equal to the product of the pressure and the change in volume. It is expressed as follows:

W = P(V2 - V1)
W = 1.3x10^5 (2x6 - 6 )

A race car reaches the finish line and the driver slows down to come to a stop. If it takes the car 10 seconds to stop at a cons
boyakko [2]

Answer:

53.64 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

a = (v-u)/t............. Equation 1

Where a = acceleration of the car, v = final velocity of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, t = time.

make u the subject of the equation

u = v-at............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: a = -12 mph/s = -5.364 m/s², t = 10 seconds, v = 0 m/s (comes to stop)

Substitute these values into equation 2

u = 0-(-5.364×10)

u = 0+53.64

u = 53.64 m/s
