A train on one track moves in the same direction as a second train on the adjacent track as shown in the Figure below. The first train, which is ahead of the second train and moves with a speed of 35.8 m/s, blows a horn whose frequency is 124 Hz. If the frequency heard on the second train is 135 Hz, what is its speed?

A bat, moving at 3 m/s, is chasing a flying insect. If the bat emits a 40-kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 40.7 kHz, at what speed is the insect moving? (Take the speed of sound in air to be v= 343 m/s.) State your answer to the nearest 0.01m/s. NOTE: Sign of your answer matters!
