Student Example Jane Electric blanket Emily Refrigerator John Flashlight Michelle Table lamp Mr. Cortez asked his students to give examples in which electrical energy is transformed into heat. Students worked in a small group. They recorded their answers in a table. If you were Mr. Cortez, how would you comment on the answers in the table?
All the students are correct. Whenever an appliance or a light uses electricity, it gives off heat energy also. That may not be the purpose of the appliance, but heat is a by-product anyway.
Why do you hear a ambulance louder as it gets closer to you
As the ambulance got closer, the siren's pitch got higher because the sound waves were pushed closer together. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency and the higher the pitch.
Why does the sound of something moving away from you seem to change to a lower and lower pitch?
As the source moves away, the sound waves stretches out relative to the person standing still; so the pitch drops.
Solution What it is made of A Water and Salt B Water and Sugar C Water and HCl D Water and NaOH
