A train S1, moving with a uniform velocity of 108 km/h, approaches another train S2 standing on a platform. An observer O moves with a uniform velocity of 36 km/h towards S2, as shown in figure. Both the trains are blowing whistles of same frequency 120 Hz. When O is 600 m away from S2 and distance between S1 and S2 is 800 m, the number of beats heard by O is [Speed of the sound = 330 m/s] 36 km/h S2 600 m 800 m 108 km/h SI

An airplane is flying at Mach 1.50 at an altitude of 7500.00 meters, where the speed of sound is v=343.00 m/s. How far away from a stationary observer will the plane be when the observer hears the sonic boom?
Two submarines A and B are approaching each other along a straight line as shown below. The speed of submarine A is VA = 20 m/s, the speed of submarine B is unknown. Submarine A sends a 500-Hz acoustic signal towards submarine B and receives a reflected signal of a higher frequency of 549 Hz. What is the speed of submarine B if the speed of sound in water is 1400 m/s? V A A f₁ The speed of submarine B, VB = What frequency does submarine B "hear"? The frequency on submarine B, fB Units m/s Units Hz V₁ B B
An observer at the ground hears thunder 10 s after he sees a lightning flash, and the thunder lasts for 8 s. How far is the observer from the closest point of the lightning flash and what is the minimum length of the flash? Under what conditions would the length of the flash you have calculated be equal to the true length? (Speed of sound is 0.34 km s-1.)
You are moving away from a stationary source of sound and hear a frequency that is 0.5 % lower than the rest frame frequency. Taking the speed of sound in air as 343 m/s, calculate your speed of movement?
During a cricket game one fan is located directly behind wickets, 18.3 m from the batter and a second fan, is located in the centerfield bleachers, 127 m from the batter. Both fans observe the batter strike the ball at the same time (because the speed of light is about a million times faster than that of sound), but the fan behind home plate hears the sound first. a) What is the time difference between hearing the sound at the two locations? Use 345 m/s as the speed of sound. b) As the batter hits the ball at a speed of 43,556 m/s and a 220 Hz sound is emitted. If the ball moves in the direction of the first fan what frequency would she observe?
An osprey (a type of hawk) has a distinct call: a whistle at 2100 Hz. An osprey calls while diving at you — you’ve gotten too close to her nest and she wants to drive you away! The frequency you perceive is 2400 Hz. How fast is the osprey approaching? (The speed of sound in air varies with temperature, but in this problem you can take it to be 343 m/s, the speed at 20◦C.)

Problem: An observer observes two moving trains, one reaching the station and other leaving the station with equal speeds of 8m s^-1. If each train sounds its whistles with frequency 240 Hz, then calculate the number of beats heard by the observer. Given: ? Find: ? Solution: ?
two trains A and B approach a station from opposite sides, sounding their whistles. A stationary observer and the platform hears no beats. if the velocities of A and B are 15 m/s and 30 m/s respectively and the real frequency of the whistle of B is 600 Hz, the real frequency of the hustle A is (velocity of sound= 300 m/s
Bob is standing at a distance of 100 m from the center of circular train track with radius R = 50 m, observing a train moving with a constant speed of v = 20 m/s. If the motion of the train creates a sound with frequency f = 300 Hz (heard by the observer on the train), a) what are the highest and the lowest frequencies that Bob hears? (Take the speed of sound in air to be 340 m/s) b) If he measures the sound level of 50 db when the train is at its farthest distance from him, what is the maximum sound level he measures?

A person with their head sideways in the water sees a beaver slap its tail on the lake surface 1.2 km away. What is the time difference between the sound heard in the ear listening in the air and the ear hearing the sound transmitted though the water? The speed of sound in water is 1480 m/s and the air temperature is 30 degrees C.
