Select the correct answer. A sound wave enters a new medium where sound travels faster. How does this affect the frequency and wavelength of the sound? A. The frequency increases and the wavelength decreases. B. The frequency decreases and the wavelength increases. C. The frequency stays the same and the wavelength increases. D. The frequency stays the same and the wavelength decreases. E. Neither the frequency nor the wavelength is affected.

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
