Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect? A water bug on the surface of a pond is producing small ripples in t

he water. The bug is not moving. A police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase. Scientists measure the speed of light and find that it is constant. The gravitational pull of two objects on each other

Answer:

A police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase.

Explanation:

In Physics, Doppler effect can be defined as the change in frequency of a wave with respect to an observer in motion and moving relative to the source of the wave.

Simply stated, Doppler effect is the change in wave frequency as a result of the relative motion existing between a wave source and its observer.

The term "Doppler effect" was named after an Austrian mathematician and physicist known as Christian Johann Doppler while studying the starlight in relation to the movement of stars.

<em>The phenomenon of Doppler effects is generally applicable to both sound and light. </em>

An example of the Doppler effect is a police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase. This is so because when a sound object moves towards you, its sound waves frequency increases, thereby causing a higher pitch. However, if the sound object is moving away from the observer, it's sound waves frequency decreases and thus resulting in a lower pitch.

<em>Other fields were the Doppler effects are applied are; astronomy, flow management, vibration measurement, radars, satellite communications etc. </em>

A chevrolet corvette convertible can brake to a stop from a speed of 60.0 mi/h in a distance of 123 ft on a level roadway. what
pychu [463]
By definition we have that the final speed is:
 Vf² = Vo² + 2 * a * d
 Where,
 Vo: Final speed
 a: acceleration
 d: distance.
 We cleared this expression the acceleration:
 a = (Vf²-Vo²) / (2 * d)
 Substituting the values:
 a = ((0) ^ 2- (60) ^ 2) / ((2) * (123) * (1/5280))
 a = -77268 mi / h ^ 2
 its stopping distance on a roadway sloping downward at an angle of 17.0 ° is:
 First you must make a free body diagram and see the acceleration of the car:
 g = 32.2 feet / sec ^ 2
 a = -77268 (mi / h ^ 2) * (5280/1) (feet / mi) * (1/3600) ^ 2 (h / s) ^ 2
 a = -31.48 feet / sec ^ 2
 A = a + g * sin (θ) = -31.48 + 32.2 * sin17.0
 A = -22.07 feet / sec ^ 2
 Clearing the braking distance:
 Vf² = Vo² + 2 * a * d
 d = (Vf²-Vo²) / (2 * a)
 Substituting the values:
 d = ((0) ^ 2- (60 * (5280/3600)) ^ 2) / (2 * (- 22.07))
 d = 175.44 feet
 answer:
 its stopping distance on a roadway sloping downward at an angle of 17.0 ° is 175.44 feet
