Answer:

Negative

Explanation:

Observe that the object below moves in the positive direction with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Here the source is moving away from the observer so frequency will be smaller than the actual frequency and since the speed is increasing so the frequency is decreasing with time so correct answer is

D) lower than the original pitch and decreasing as he falls.

Explanation:

As we know by the Doppler's effect of sound we have

so we will have

$f = f_o(\frac{v}{v + v_s})$

so here when source moves away from the observer with a some speed then the frequency of the sound observed by the observer is smaller than the actual frequency

Here we know that the speed of the source is increasing with time as the source is falling under gravity

So we can say that the pitch of the sound will decrease with time

A ball is connected to a light spring suspended vertically. When pulled downward from its equilibrium position and released, the

babunello [35]

Answer:

The forms of energy involved are

1. Kinetic energy

2. Potential energy

Explanation:

The system consists of a ball initially at rest. The ball is pulled down from its equilibrium position (this builds up its potential energy) and then released. The released ball oscillates due to a continuous transition between kinetic and potential energy.
