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.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

We will be effected not only with health, but also with our ability to carry out our genes to the next generation.

Explanation:

Our health is important, as we all know, so anything that happens to the digestive system will have a serious problem to our longevity, our reproductive system is also important to carry out our genes, and give birth to a new generation, it wouldn't effect us if only 1 person couldnt reproduce, but if everyone had a problem in their reproductive system, it would mean the extinction of all humanity.

Which of the following is NOT a criteria for a celestial object to be a planet?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The option which is not a criteria for a celestial object to be a planet is;

The object must be massive enough have a gravitational pull on the Sun

Explanation:

There are three criteria for a celestial object to be classified as a planet including;

1) The object's orbit is around the Sun

2) The shape of the object is nearly round due to its mass which is capable of assuming hydrostatic equilibrium

3) Other smaller objects in the neighborhood around the object has been cleared by the object

Therefore, the option which is not a criteria for a celestial object to be a planet is that it must be massive enough to have a gravitational pull on the Sun as every two objects in the Universe share a common gravitational pull according to Newton's Law of Gravitation.
