1) Why are the percentages of the change in frequency and wavelength much greater when sound waves are used instead of radio waves in these experiments?
A) Sound waves travel more slowly.
D) Interference in the atmosphere affects sound wave much more.
What makes D incorrect?
2) How will work change if the angle of a ramp to the horizontal is increased? (Question 82 from the question pack)
Here is my reasoning: If angle is increased that means the object is starting at a higher position. Since it is starting at a higher position it has more potential energy and thus gravity has to do more work on the object. However, the answer says that the Work will decrease.
3) The figure above shows an arrow, pointing upward, located a distance p in front of a converging lens of focal length f. If p > f as in the figure, what kind of image of the arrow is formed by the lens? (Question 118 from the question pack)
I made up numbers to figure this out and got the wrong answer. I don't understand the AAMC explanation.
