A) be traveling at a speed that is faster than perceived B) be traveling at a speed that is slower than perceived
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) be traveling at a speed that is faster than perceived

Explanation:

Velocitation is a phenomenon caused by driving for long periods at high speeds. A driver may experience velocitation when coming off of the highway; the change in speed makes him or her think that the car is going much slower than it actually is.

 

Velocitation is the tendency to be traveling at a speed that is faster than perceived.

RYB (an abbreviation of red–yellow–blue) is a historical set of colors used in subtractive color mixing and is one commonly used set of primary colors. It is primarily used in art and design education, particularly painting.

RYB predates modern scientific color theory, which has determined that cyan, magenta, and yellow are the best set of three colorants to combine, for the widest range of high-chroma colors.

Q:

A woman’s voice is shriller than a man’s voice due to

A) weak vocal chords B) lower frequency
C) higher frequency D) higher amplitude
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) higher frequency

Explanation:

As the frequency of sound is higher, women have shriller voices than men.

The shrillness or pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency. The higher the pitch shriller the voice. As the sounds produced by vocal cords of women are higher than men so women have shriller voices than men. Because their vocal cord is of smaller size. As their vocal cord is more stretched than men's.
