- the siren of a fire truck that is traveling northward at 40.0 m/s emits a sound wave of frequency 3000 Hz. a car in front of the truck is also traveling northward at 20.0 m/s. the temperature of the calm air outside (not windy) is 10.0 degrees Celcius. (a) what is the frequency of the siren's sound that the car driver hears? (b) what is the frequency of the siren's sound that the fire truck driver hears reflected from the car in front of it?A boy is standing at a railroad crossing for a track that runs east and west. As he faces the track, east is to his right and west is to his left. Two trains on the track some distance apart are headed west, both at speeds of 10.00 m/s, and blowing their whistles (which have the same frequency). One train is approaching him from the east and the other is traveling away from him toward the west. (Assume the speed of sound is 343 m/s.) (a) If he hears a beat frequency of 7.00 Hz, determine the frequency (in Hz) emitted by the two whistles. 120.05 Hz (b) What If? What would be the frequency (in Hz) of the beats that he hears if the lead train stops at a station (and continues to blow its whistle) while the second train continues traveling toward him? . HzA train approaches a platform at a speed of 30 km/h while it blows its whistle. Someone on the platform hears the whistle at 275 Hz. Calculate the actual frequency of the whistle. (speed of sound = 343 m/s)
- At rest, a car's horn sounds the note A (440 Hz). The horn is sounded while the car is moving down the street. A bicyclist moving in the same direction with one-fifth the car's speed hears a frequency of 420 Hz. (a) Is the cyclist ahead of or behind the car? ahead of the car behind the car (b) What is the speed of the car? (Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.) 20.66 m/sHassan is driving his truck with a velocity of 18m/s towards a mountain. Kevin who is riding in the truck sounds a horn. The sound reflects from the cliff and is heard by Hassan and Kevin on the truck. What is the change in frequency in hertz if the horn had an initial wavelength of )=0.101 m? The temperature that day was 35 degrees celsius. (Speed of sound = 331+0.6 T(in celsius)). Please give your answer as a whole number.An alert physics student stands beside the tracks as a train rolls slowly past. He notes that the frequency of the train whistle is 489 Hz when the train is approaching him and 468 Hz when the train is receding from him. Using these frequencies, he calculates the speed of the train. What value does he find? (Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.) m/s Need Help? Read It
- Two trains on separate tracks move toward each other. Train 1 has a speed of 149 km/h; train 2, a speed of 95.0 km/h. Train 2 blows its horn, emitting a frequency of 500 Hz. What is the frequency heard by the engineer on train 1?A boat on a river blows a horn at a frequency of 215 Hz. A tugboat traveling thesame direction at a speed twice that of the boat observes a frequency of 235 Hz.What is the speed of the boat?Two cars are heading straight towards each other with the same speed. the horn of one sounds at a frequency of 3000 Hz but is beard by the driver of the other car as 3400 Hz. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, find the speed of each car.
- A train is moving past a crossing where cars are waiting for it to pass. While waiting, the driver of the lead car becomes sleepy and rests his head on the steering wheel, unintentionally activating the car's horn. A passenger in the back of the train hears the horn's sound at a frequency of 429 Hz and a passenger in the front hears it at 404 Hz. Find the train's speed and the horn's frequency, assuming the sound travels along the tracks. Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s. HINT (a) the train's speed (in m/s) m/s (b) the horn's frequency (in Hz) HzAt rest, a car's horn sounds the note A (440 Hz). The horn is sounded while the car is moving down the street. A bicyclist moving in the same direction with one-seventh the car's speed hears a frequency of 421 Hz. (a) Is the cyclist ahead of or behind the car? ahead of the carbehind the car (b) What is the speed of the car? (Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.) m/sStanding at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 540 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 435 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations. (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)
