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>

Use newton's third law to explain why a blown up balloon but untied balloon will fly around the room when you let it go? really
sergij07 [2.7K]
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you let go of the ballon, you are letting the force out but the force also pushes the balloon back.

Two hockey players , big Jim and little Tim collide head on and get tangled while going for the puck 65kg time was traveling at
12345 [234]
I will assume that big Joe is big Jim. The equation for the momentum is p=m*v, where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity. Big Joe has a mass m=105 kg and speed v=5.2 m/s. When we input the numbers:

p=105*5.2=546 kg*(m/s).

So big Joe's momentum before the collision is p=546 kg*(m/s).
