So, option 3 or the ambulance sound waves have more waves and shorter wavelength is the correct reason for ambulance siren having higher pitch compared to fire truck siren

Explanation:

Pitch of any sound wave is determined as the clarity in frequency of notes or the number of times a cycle is repeated for a single second. So pitch is similar to frequency. And frequency is the measure of number of complete cycles in a second. So if the ambulance siren has higher pitch compared to siren of fire truck. Then this means the frequency of ambulance siren is greater than the fire truck siren. As the frequency is more, then from the given options, choice 3 is correct. The ambulance siren have more waves and shorter wavelength. As more the frequency or number of waves, lesser or shorter is the wavelength of sound wave from ambulance.

If Anya decides to make the star twice as massive, and not change the length of any crossbar or the location of any object, what

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

She will make the mass of the smiley face twice as massive in order to keep the mobile in perfect balance.

Explanation:

mass of an object is directly proportional to the cube of its length. In this case the length is constant, the mass will also be constant for the smiley face, so that the mobile will be kept in perfect balance.

Therefore, If Anya decides to make the star twice as massive, and not change the length of any crossbar or the location of any object, she will make the mass of the smiley face twice as massive in order to keep the mobile in perfect balance.

Prove the correctness of this equation s=vt + 1/2at

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The formula is dimensionally correct.

Explanation:

Given

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

Required

Prove its correctness

Write out the dimension of each:

$s = M^0LT^0$ --- displacement

$ut = M^0LT^{-1} * T$ --- velocity * time

$\frac{1}{2}at^2 = M^0LT^{-2} * T^2$ --- acceleration * square of time

The expression becomes:

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$M^0LT^0 = M^0LT^{-1} * T + M^0LT^{-2} * T^2$

Apply law of indices

$M^0LT^0 = M^0LT^{-1+1} + M^0LT^{-2+2}$

$M^0LT^0 = M^0LT^{0} + M^0LT^{0}$

$M^0LT^0 = M^0LT^{0}$

Both sides of the equation are equal

what is the designation given to a galaxy with a small nuclear bulge and loosely wound arms starting from a a bar through the nu

Naya [18.7K]

In SBc galaxies, both the arms and the bar are highly resolved into star clouds and stellar associations. The arms are open in form and can start either at the ends of the bar or tangent to a ring.

<h3>Is the Milky Way a SBc galaxy?</h3>

Originally thought to be a hubble type Sb or Sc (Sbc), astronomers now believe that the Milky Way is has a central bar and is therefore a loosely wound, barred spiral galaxy – Hubble type SBbc.

<h3>What is the difference between an SBc galaxy and an Sc galaxy?</h3>

Sa (and SBa) galaxy types have tightly wound arms and large central bulges.

Sc's (and SBc's) have loosely wound arms and a small central bulge.
