On a particular day the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s. If a plane flies at a speed of 680 m/s, is its Mach number (a) 1.5, (b) 2.0, (c) 2.5, or (d) 2.7?
During a thunderstorm, a frightened child is soothed by learning to estimate the distance to a lightning strike by counting the time between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder (Fig. P2.25). The speed vs of sound in air depends on the air temperature, but assume the value is 343 m/s. The speed of light c is 3.00 108 m/s. a. A child sees the lightning and then counts to eight slowly before hearing the thunder. Assume the light travel time is negligible. Estimate the distance to the lightning strike. b. Using your estimate in part (a), find the light travel time. Is it fair to neglect the light travel time? c. Think about how time was measured in this problem. Is it fair to neglect the difference between the speed of sound in cold air (vs at 0C = 331.4 m/s) and the speed of sound in very warm air (vs at 40C = 355.4 m/s)?

A cable with a linear density of =0.2 kg/m is hung from telephone poles. The tension in the cable is 500.00 N. The distance between poles is 20 meters. The wind blows across the line, causing the cable resonate. A standing waves pattern is produced that has 4.5 wavelengths between the two poles. The air temperature is T=20C . What are the frequency and wavelength of the hum?
A flowerpot is knocked off a window ledge from a height d = 20.0 m above the sidewalk as shown in Figure P17.13. lt falls toward an unsuspecting man of height h = 1.75 m who is standing below. Assume the man requires a time interval of t = 0.300 s to respond to the warning. How close to the sidewalk can the flowerpot fall before it is too late for a warning shouted from the balcony to reach the main in time?
A student drops a water-filled balloon from the roof of the tallest building in town trying to hit her roommate on the ground (who is too quick). The first student ducks back but hears the water splash 4.021 s after dropping the balloon. If the speed of sound is 331 m/s, find the height of the building, neglecting air resistance.
Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes emit a buzz at about 4.00102 Hz, whereas male A. aegypti mosquitoes typically emit a buzz at about 6.00102 Hz. As a female mosquito is approaching a stationary male mosquito, is it possible that he mistakes the female for a male because of the Doppler shift of the sound she emits? How fast would the female have to be traveling relative to the male for him to make this mistake? Assume the speed of sound in the air is 343 m/s.
