The Doppler Effect is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave for an observer moving relative to its source. It is named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler.

Answer: Doppler effect

Explanation:

When there is relative motion between source and listener of sound, the apparent frequency heard by the listener is different from the frequency of the source. When the source and the listener are moving closer, the apparent frequency increases and when they move apart, there is decrease in the apparent frequency. This is Doppler's effect.

The wave-fronts move closer as the source and listener approach closer to each other. Thus, the observed frequency is greater than the actual. The pitch depends on frequency, greater is the pitch.

The total resistance of a parallel circuit is 25 ohms. If the total current is 100mA, how much current is through a 220 ohm resi
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The current across the resistance is 0.011 A.

Explanation:

Total resistance, R = 25 ohms

Total current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A

Let the voltage is V.

By the Ohm's law

V = I R

V = 0.1 x 25 = 2.5 V

Now the resistance is R' = 220 ohm

As they are in parallel so the voltage is same. Let the current is I'.

V = I' x R'

2.5 = I' x 220

I' = 0.011 A

Why does the moon's gravity have a greater effect on the earth's ocean than the sun.
White raven [17]

Answer:

Tides on our planet are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun. Earth's oceans "bulge out" because the Moon's gravity pulls a little harder on one side of our planet (the side closer to the Moon) than it does on the other. The Sun's gravity raises tides, too, but lunar tides are twice as big.

In what way could a random mutation provide an organism with an advantage? With a example please
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

They are called beneficial mutations. They lead to new versions of proteins that help organisms adapt to changes in their environment. Beneficial mutations are essential for evolution to occur. They increase an organism's changes of surviving or reproducing, so they are likely to become more common over time.

When a cube is inscribed in a sphere of radius r, the length Lof a side of the cube is . If a positive point charge Qis placed a
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

  Ф_cube /Ф_sphere = 3 /π

Explanation:

The electrical flow is

      Ф = E A

where E is the electric field and A is the surface area

Let's shut down the electric field with Gauss's law

       Фi = ∫ E .dA = q_{int} / ε₀

the Gaussian surface is a sphere so its area is

        A = 4 π r²

the charge inside is

        q_{int} = Q

we substitute

       E 4π r² = Q /ε₀

       E = 1 / 4πε₀   Q / r²

To calculate the flow on the two surfaces

* Sphere

       Ф = E A

        Ф = 1 / 4πε₀  Q / r² (4π r²)

        Ф_sphere = Q /ε₀

* Cube

Let's find the side value of the cube inscribed inside the sphere.

In this case the radius of the sphere is half the diagonal of the cube

          r = d / 2

We look for the diagonal with the Pythagorean theorem

         d² = L² + L² = 2 L²

         d = √2 L

         

we substitute

          r = √2 / 2 L

          r = L / √2

          L = √2  r

now we can calculate the area of ​​the cube that has 6 faces

          A = 6 L²

          A = 6 (√2  r)²

          A = 12 r²

the flow is

          Ф = E A

          Ф = 1 / 4πε₀  Q/r²  (12r²)

          Ф_cubo = 3 /πε₀  Q

the relationship of these two flows is

         Ф_cube /Ф_sphere = 3 /π
