Answer: false.

Explanation:

Doppler effect is caused to the relative motion of the source of light/sound with respect to the observer.

If the source is moving towards you, you will perceive the frequency to be larger (also called a blue shift), while if the wave is moving away, you will perceive the frequency to be smaller (also called a red shift).

Then the statement:

"Doppler effect is caused by sound or light wave being pushed together and spread apart due to motion."

Is false

In comparing molar specific heat for gases under constant pressure CP and constant volume CV, we conclude that (more than one co

Sauron [17]

Answer:

b. Specific heat increases as the number of atoms per molecule increases.

c. Specific heat at constant pressure is higher than at constant volume.

d. Monatomic gases behave like ideal gases.

Explanation:

Specific heat of the gas at constant pressure is usually higher than that of the volume.

i.e.

Cp - Cv = R

where R is usually the gas constant.

However, monoatomic gases are gases that exhibit the behavior of ideal gases. This is due to the attribute of the intermolecular forces which plays a negligible role. Nonetheless, the case is not always true for all temperatures and pressure.

Similarly, the increase in the number of atoms per molecule usually brings about an increase in specific heat. This effect is true as a result of an increase in the total number associated with the degree of freedom from which energy can be separated.

Thus, from above explanation:

Option b,c,d are correct while option (a) is incorrect.

A car initially at rest accelerates at 10m/s^2. The car’s speed after it has traveled 25 meters is most nearly... A.) 0.0m/s B.)

STALIN [3.7K]

The car traverses a distance $x$ after time $t$ according to

$x=\dfrac12at^2$

where $a$ is its acceleration, 10 m/s^2. The time it takes for the car to travel 25 m is

$25\,\mathrm m=\left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\implies t=\sqrt 5\,\mathrm s$

5 is pretty close to 4, so we can approximate the square root of 5 by 2. Then the car's velocity $v$ after 2 s of travel is given by

$v=\left(10\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2\,\mathrm s)\approx20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

which makes C the most likely answer.

MariettaO [177]

The middle life crisis occurs for men at age of 39 and for women at age of 44. At this age, people start realizing that they are getting older and experience some physical changes which seem distressful for them.

It affects the sense of accomplishment and progress in career. Due to a midlife crisis, people start engaging in activities to cope with the reality such as wearing clothes that are fashionable, dating someone etc. Yes, I think I will also go through one because it happens with everyone in this age. It can be avoided by accepting the fact that these changes are reality and everyone have to face it one day.
