Answer:

The question above is repeated twice.

Removing the repetition, we have:  A plane flies toward a stationary siren at 1/4 the speed of sound. Then the plane stands still on the ground and the siren is driven toward it at 1/4 the speed of sound. In both cases, a person sitting in the plane will hear the same frequency of sound from the siren. True or False?

The correct answer to the question is "False"

Explanation:

The question above, illustrates a phenomenon referred to as "Doppler effect"

The Doppler effect only changes the frequency of the sound which explains how wavelength changes when a wave source is moving toward or away from an object. The Doppler effect occurs when a source of waves and/or observer move relative to each other.

When a sound source is moving toward the observer (a person sitting in the plane) in the case above,  the observer will hear a higher pitch as the source approaches. That is, the plane stands still on the ground and the siren is driven toward it.This is due to a decrease in the amplitude of the sound wave.

However, If the observer moves toward the stationary source, the observed frequency is higher than the source frequency. In this case, A plane flies toward a stationary siren.

λ = v/f = vT,

where T is the period,

The relationship  between frequency, speed, and wavelength is:

f = v/λ

v represents the speed of sound through the medium.

Doppler effect depends on things moving, as the observer moves, the frequency becomes higher as the distance decreases. If the observer moves and the distance becomes larger, it means that the sound frequency becomes lower.

If you throw a ball down ward then acceleration immeditely after leaving your hand is
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

9.8m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball thrown after leaving my hand is 9.8m/s². This will be the acceleration due to gravity on the body.

  • Acceleration due to gravity is caused by the pull of the earth on a massive object.
  • The value of this acceleration is 9.8m/s².
  • As the ball nears the surface, it comes near zero.

What is the mass of a falling rock if it produces a force of 50 N?
Rasek [7]
××F=m \times a×

50N is your force and the acceleration is -9.8m/s^2 due to gravity. 

So, you just plug that in. 

50 N=m\times-9.8m/s^2\\
\frac{50}{-9.8}=m\\
m=-5.102

BUT you know that mass cannot be negative, so you just disregard the negative sign and the mass of the rock is 5.102 grams.

How could you increase electric force using each factor
NNADVOKAT [17]

Increasing the separation distance between objects decreases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects. And decreasing the separation distance between objects increases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects. Electrical forces are extremely sensitive to distance.
