Answer:

Explanation:

The Doppler effect occurs when a source of waves and/or observer move relative to each other, resulting in the observer measuring a different frequency of the waves than the frequency that the source is emitting.

Let use our case study.

It would be higher pitched when approaching due to the Doppler effect.

The sound waves as you approach them, travel faster relative to you so they pass more frequently which is higher pitched. when you travel away from the source you are out-speeding these waves so they sound slower and thus, lower-pitched.

When a car approaches bus, the sound waves that reach person on the bus have a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency. The person hear a sound with a higher pitch. When the car moves away from bus, the sound waves that reach the person have a longer wavelength and lower frequency. The person hear a sound with a lower pitch.

Many of today’s mathematicians use computers to test cases that are either too time-consuming or involve too many variables to test manually, allowing the exploration of theoretical issues that were impossible to test a generation ago.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

One of the most useful inventions in scientific world are the computers. We can use different programming language and create programs in them. These programs help other to solve difficult problems. Most of the theoretical problems in science can be solved by using these programming features in computer within a specific time limit.

Otherwise, earlier mathematician used to take months to solve a complex mathematical problem manually, but now with the inclusion of computers, the mathematician can solve the problems containing more number of variables or other theoretical issues.

A man pushes on piano with mass 170 kg; it slides at constant velocity down a ramp that is inclined at 20.0 ∘ above the horizont
nikdorinn [45]

Answer

given,                            

mass of the piano = 170 kg              

angle of the inclination = 20°                

moves with constant velocity hence acceleration = 0 m/s²    

neglecting friction                                  

so, force required to pull the piano                    

F = m g sin θ                                                      

F = 170 × 9.81 × sin 20°                                        

F = 570.39 N                                                    

so, force required by the man to push the piano is F = 570.39 N

The center of the Hubble space telescope is 6940 km from Earth’s center. If the gravitational force between Earth and the telesc
Law Incorporation [45]
The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects

The distance of the telescope from the Earth's center is r=6940 km=6.94 \cdot 10^6 m, the gravitational force is F=9.21 \cdot 10^4 N and the mass of the Earth is m_1=5.98 \cdot 10^{24} kg, therefore we can rearrange the previous equation to find m2, the mass of the telescope:
m_2 =  \frac{Fr^2}{Gm_1}= \frac{(9.21 \cdot 10^4 N)(6.94\cdot 10^6)^2}{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})} =11121 kg
