Submarine A is chasing submarine B at a depth of 250 m. Submarine A is travelling at a speed of 10 while submarine B is travelling faster at a speed of 12". Submarine B sends out a sonar ping at 1 kHz. Assume that the speed of sound at this depth is 1200. a) What frequency of sound hits submarine A? (Answer:982 Hz) b) What would the frequency be if submarine B was moving at double its speed? (Answer:972 Hz)

A blood-flow meter emits a 1.9-MHz ultrasound pulse to measure the speed of blood moving directly away from the meter. The meter’s sensor detects the pulse reflected back from the blood at a frequency 27 Hz lower than the emitted frequency. Take the speed of sound in the tissues to be 1475 m/s. At what speed, in centimeters per second, is the blood moving?
While rolling down a hill, you produce a pitch of 387 Hz while honking on your horn. A stationary car blows it's horn at the same frequency. The combined sound of the two horns is 49 Hz. How do we calculate my speed in this scenario?
This is possibly a different atmosphere from ours. In any case, the speed of sound is computer-generated, and is 454 m/s this time. Light travels for us instantaneously. You see a lightning flash, and 7.6 seconds later, you hear the thunderbolt. How far away was the lightning (in meters)?
If you shout across a canyon and hear the echo 0.80 s later, how wide is the canyon? Use the speed of sound as 340 m/s.
Female mosquitoes emit a buzz at 400 Hz, whereas male mosquitoes typically emit a buzz at 600 Hz. As a female mosquito is approaching a stationary male mosquito, calculate how fast would the female have to be traveling relative to the male for him to mistaken the female as male mosquito? Assume the speed of sound in the air is 343 m/s.
A train is moving parallel to a highway with a constant speed of 20 m/s. A car is traveling with a speed of 40.0 m/s. The car’s horn sound at a frequency of 510 Hz, and the train whistle sounds at a frequency of 320 Hz. When the car is behind the train, what frequency does an occupant of the car observe for the train whistle?
A 1.0 C increase in air temperature causes the speed of sound to increase by 60 m/s. Truth or False?
While sitting next to a road on a calm, warm 27.9ºC evening, you see an ambulance's lights flashing in the distance coming towards you. You hear a frequency of 140 Hz. However, you know that ambulances have sirens that emit sound at 130 Hz. How fast is the ambulance approaching you, in m/s?
Two eagles fly directly toward one another, the first at 15.0 m/s and the second at 18.7 m/s. Both screech, the first emitting a frequency of 3643 Hz and the other one of 3800 Hz. What frequencies do they receive if the speed of sound is 330 m/s? (Enter your answers to at least the nearest 10 Hz.)
A train is moving at a speed of 50 m/s with its whistle on, the frequency of the whistling sound being 400 Hz. What should be the approximate frequency heard by a stationary observer as the train approaches the observer. Take the speed of sound as 345 m/s when atmospheric temperature is 24°C. 468 Hz 486 Hz 490 Hz 400 Hz
A bystander hears a siren vary in frequency from 590 Hz to 368 Hz as a fire truck approaches, passes by, and moves away on a straight street. What is the speed of the truck? (Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.)
A submarine is moving toward another submarine at 9.2 m/s. it emits a 3.5 MHz ultrasound. What frequency would the second sub, at rest, detect? The speed of sound in water is 1482 m/s.
