In many cartoon shows, a character runs off a cliff, realizes his predicament, and lets out a scream. He continues to scream as
he falls. If the physical situation is portrayed correctly, from the vantage point of an observer at the top of the cliff leaning over the edge, the pitch of the scream as he falls should be In many cartoon shows, a character runs off a cliff, realizes his predicament, and lets out a scream. He continues to scream as he falls. If the physical situation is portrayed correctly, from the vantage point of an observer at the top of the cliff leaning over the edge, the pitch of the scream as he falls should be a. lower than the original pitch and constant.
b. higher than the original pitch and increasing as he falls.
c. higher than the original pitch and constant.
d. lower than the original pitch and decreasing as he falls.
e. It is impossible to predict.
d. lower than the original pitch and decreasing as he falls.
Explanation:
As per the Doppler effect when the pitch of the sound increases as the source approaches the observer and decreases as the source moves away. A classic example of this increasing pitch of ambulance siren as it approaches you and decreasing pitch of the siren as it goes away from you.
The same effect is applicable here as well. As the character keep falling, it is moving away from the observer so the pitch of his scream will keep on decreasing.
Because the Moon has a very small surface area compared to other spacial geo-bodies, it has cooled down much faster than Earth. Any water on the moon would freeze.
