Two cars A &B are driving away from each other and sounding their horns. You are the driver of car A which is travelling at a speed of 27.2m/s and you measured the horn of the other car to be sounded at 730HZ, which is travelling at a speed of 24.08m/s. Speed of sound is 335m/s. Calculate the following: A a) Speed of the observer in m/s =

Observer S detects two flashes of light. A big flash occurs at x1 = 1271 m and, slightly later, a small flash occurs at x2 = 492 m. The time interval between the flashes is Δt = t2 - t1. What is the smallest value of Δt for which observer S' will determine that the two flashes occur at the same x' coordinate?

A speeder tries to explain to the police that the yellow warning lights she was approaching on the side of the road looked green to her because of the Doppler shift. How fast would she have been traveling if yellow light of wavelength 580 nm had been shifted to green with a wavelength of 560 nm? Assume c=3x108 m/s and that light was moving not the car. Write your answer in percents of c rounded to a two decimals for example 1.25
A suitable system for measuring the location of events in time and space would be to have a three dimensional grid of measuring rods with a clock at each point on the grid. How should the clocks be synchronized to ensure consistent measurements? a)Each clock should read its light travel time from the origin (using the b)speed of light in vacuum). c)Each clock should read the same time as a clock at the origin. d)Each clock should start at the origin where it is set to read the same time as a master clock, and then be moved to its final location. e)Each clock should be checked against a clock in a non inertial frame.
