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.

Effect of impurities and temperature to surface tension

oksano4ka [1.4K]

In general, surface tension decreases when temperature increases because cohesive forces decrease with an increase of molecular thermal activity. The influence of the surrounding environment is due to the adhesive action of liquid molecules that they have at the interface.

A(n) 93 kg clock initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a(n) 610 N horizontal force to set it in motion. After the clo

denpristay [2]

Answer:0.669

Explanation:

Given

mass of clock 93 kg

Initial force required to move it 610 N

After clock sets in motion it requires a force of 514 N to keep moving it with a constant velocity

Initially static friction is acting which is more than kinetic friction

thus 613 force is required to overcome static friction

$\mu _smg=610$

$\mu _s\times 93\times 9.8=610$

$\mu _s=0.669$

To balance a chemical equation we use______. -coefficients -subscripts

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Coefficients

Explanation:

Coefficients are used to balance chemical equations.
According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants in a chemical equation should be equivalent to the mass of the products.
The conservation of mass is achieved in chemical equations is achieved through balancing chemical equations.
Balancing chemical equations is a try and error of putting appropriate coefficients to the reactants or products to ensure that the number of atoms of each element are equal on the side of the reactants and that of products.
