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 150 Hz (you have a very keen ear!). However, you know that ambulances have sirens that emit sound at 140 Hz. How fast is the ambulance approaching you, in m/s
We are in an automobile traveling at 45.7 mph (mi/h) down a street. We approach a tall brick wall and honk our horn which has a pitch of 245.0 Hz. Find the frequency (Hz) of the sound we can hear reflected off the wall and coming back to us. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. Give the answer to 4 significant figures.
Standing at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 520 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 436 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations. (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.) m/s
Standing at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 550 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 462 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations. (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)
A fire truck sits at rest and emits a sound from its siren with a frequency of 385.0 Hz. If you are biking away from the fire truck at a velocity of 5.200 m/s, what frequency will you hear from the siren? Assume the speed of the sound being emitted from the siren is 327.0 m/s.
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 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)
A cyclist is using a loudspeaker to measure her speed. She cycles directly towards the loudspeaker which emits a sound with a constant frequency 261 Hz. The cyclist measures the frequency to be 269 Hz. You should assume that the speed of sound in air is 335 m s-¹. (a) Calculate the speed of the cyclist. (b) Describe briefly what the cyclist will hear as she passes the loudspeaker.
A bat at rest sends out ultrasonic sound waves at 54.0 kHz and receives them returned from an object moving directly away from it at 33.0 m/s . What is the received sound frequency?
A violin string of length 32.8 cm that sounds the note is under a tension of 50 N and has a mass per length of 0.6 grams per meter. How many round trips are completed per second? This tells you the frequency of the sound produced by the string.
Standing at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 570 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 488 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations. (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)
A bystander hears a siren vary in frequency from 584 Hz to 370 Hz as a fire truck approaches, passes by, and movesaway on a straight street. What is the speed of the truck? (Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.)
