Can you tell where the sound comes from when your blindfolded?

Yes, if both of your ears are free, then you should be able to detect the direction from which a sound is coming. Your brain detects direction of sound by the minute difference in volume of sound and the slight delay in sound reaching one ear if your head is turned away from the sound source. ; - If one of your ears were fully plugged, you would not be able to detect the direction of the sound without turning your head. If the sound is more or less continuous, however, you would turn your head and by the differences in volume, determine the sound source. ; - By the way, if the sound source is moving, you should also be able to detect the direction it is moving the the rising or falling pitch of the sound. To test this out, stand by a railway crossing when a train is approaching while blowing it's whistle. The pitch of the whistle will change as the train approaches and again as it retreats from your position. Does the pitch rise or fall as the train approaches? ; - This Is The Hypothesis But, You Can Use It As An Abstract ;


How do you know a sound is from behind you and not in front?

well your ears can tell whether sound is coming from behing or infront of you. there is another way though if sound is behind you it is quiter which means if sound is in front of you it is louder


How can you tell which way a front is moving?

You can tell which way a front is moving by observing the direction in which the clouds are moving. In the Northern Hemisphere, if clouds are moving from south to north, it indicates a warm front moving north. If clouds are moving from north to south, it indicates a cold front moving south. Reverse these directions for the Southern Hemisphere.


How could you tell whether a police car is chasing you or moving away from you from sound waves?

If the police car is chasing you, the sound waves will have a higher frequency and intensity as it approaches you. As the police car moves away, the sound waves will have a lower frequency and intensity. This change in frequency and intensity can help you determine whether the police car is getting closer or farther away.


Is it possible to tell the difference between moving at a constant velocity and not moving at all?

Yes, it is possible. If you are moving at a constant velocity, you will feel no acceleration or deceleration. In contrast, if you are not moving at all, you will feel stationary with no change in velocity.
