Answer:

Doppler effect is the apparent change in frequency emitted by source heard by a listener when there is relative motion between the two. The apparent frequency increases when the source and listener approach each other and decreases when the source and the listener move away from each other.

Frequency and pitch are related. Higher the frequency, higher would be the pitch.

Thus, when a fire engine's siren approaches, a higher pitch is heard because of the Doppler effect.There is only increase in the apparent frequency. The emitted waves compact increasing the frequency perceived by a listener.

A car accelerates at 3 m/s*2. Assuming the car starts from rest, how much time does it need to
uranmaximum [27]
<h3><u>Given</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Acceleration,a = 3 m/s²

Initial velocity,u = 0 m/s

Final velocity,v = 12 m/s

<h3><u>To</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>calculated:-</u><u> </u></h3>

Calculate the time take by a car.

<h3><u>Solution:-</u><u> </u></h3>

According to the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

★ Substituting the values in the above formula,we get:

⇒ 12 = 0 + 3 × t

⇒ 12 = 3t

⇒ 3t = 12

⇒ t = 12/3

⇒ t = 4 sec

Which of the following occurs when the fight-or-flight response is triggered?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

<h2>A  or B</h2>

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system has two components, the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system functions like a gas pedal in a car. It triggers the fight-or-flight response, providing the body with a burst of energy so that it can respond to perceived dangers.
