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.
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.
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 416 Hz. What is the speed of the car? (Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.)
You've entered the Great Space Race. Your engines are hearty enough to keep you in second place. While racing, the person in front of you begins to have engine troubles and turns on his emergency lights that emit at a frequency of 5.640 x 1014 Hz. If the person in front of you is traveling 2627 km/s faster than you when he turns on his lights, what is the frequency of the emergency lights that you observe when it reaches you in your spaceship? (Enter your answer to four significant figures.) 4.0 Hz Additional Materials
