Two cars A & B are travelling towards one another and blowing their horns. You are sitting in car B which is travelling at a speed of 27.08m/s and you observed the horn of the other car to be sounded at 844HZ, which is travelling at a speed of 3143m/s. Speed of sound is 332m/s. Calculate: frequency of the horn's sound as produced by source in hertz =

What frequency is received by a mouse just before being dispatched by a hawk flying at it at 25.0 m/s and emitting a screech of frequency 3500 Hz? Take the speed of sound to be 331 m/s.
During a 4th of July celebration, an M80 firework explodes on the ground, producing a bright flash and a loud bang. The air temperature of the night air is TF=90.00F . Two observers see the flash and hear the bang. The first observer notes the time between the flash and the bang as 1.00 second. The second observer notes the difference as 3.00 seconds. The line of sight between the two observers meet at a right angle as shown below. What is the distance x between the two observers?
A spectator at a parade receives an 888-Hz tone from an oncoming trumpeter who is playing an 880-Hz note. At what speed is the musician approaching if the speed of sound is 338 m/s?
An airplane is flying at Mach 1.50 at an altitude of 7500.00 meters, where the speed of sound is v=343.00 m/s. How far away from a stationary observer will the plane be when the observer hears the sonic boom?
The Doppler equation presented in the text is valid when the motion between the observer and the source occurs on a straight line so that the source and observer are moving either directly toward or directly away from each other. If this restriction is relaxed, one must use the more general Doppler equation f=(v+vocosovvscoss)f where o and s are defined in figure P13.7la. Use the preceding equation to solve the following problem. A train moves at a constant speed of v = 25.0 m/s toward the intersection shown in Figure P13.71b. A car is stopped near the crossing, 30.0 m from the tracks. The trains horn emits a frequency of 500 Hz when the train is 40.0 m from the intersection. (a) What is the frequency heard by the passengers in the car? (b) If the train emits this sound continuously and the car is stationary at this position long before the train arrives until long after it leaves, what range of frequencies do passengers in the car hear? (c) Suppose the car is foolishly trying to beat the train to the intersection and is traveling at 40.0 m/s toward the tracks. When the car is 30.0 m from the tracks and the train is 40.0 m from the intersection, what is the frequency heard by the passengers in the car now?
Energy from the Sun arrives at the top of Earth’s atmosphere with an intensity of 1400 W/m2. How long does it take for 1.80109 J to arrive on an area of 1.00 m2?
The frequency of the siren of an ambulance is 900 Hz and is approaching you. You are standing on a corner and observe a frequency of 960 Hz. What is the speed of the ambulance (in mph) if the speed of sound is v=340.00 m/s?
A siren mounted 011 the roof of a firehouse emits sound at a frequency of 900 Hz. A steady wind is blowing with a speed of 15.0 m/s. Taking the speed of sound in calm air to be 343 m/s. find the wavelength of the sound (a) upwind of the siren and (b) downwind of the siren. Firefighters are approaching the siren from various directions at 15.0 m/s. What frequency does a firefighter hear (c) if she is approaching from an upwind position so that site is moving in the direction in which the wind is blowing and (d) if she is approaching from a downwind position and moving against the wind?
While chasing the person who released all the ping pong balls, an astronaut is screaming at 694Hz while moving towards the miscreant at 5.2 m/s. The prankster is fleeing, but at only 3.1 m/s. The air on the ISS is kept pretty close to standard pressure and temperature, so the speed of sound is 343 m/s. At what frequency does the prankster hear the yell? pick the one equation and define the relevant knowns and single unknown
A truck travels southbound on a highway at a speed of 14 m/s. A police car, traveling northbound at a speed of 39 m/s. When the truck approaches the car its siren produces sound at a frequency of 849Hz . What frequency does the driver observe as the truck approaches ?
A train passes by a little boy at the depot. As it moves away from the boy at 65m/s, the whistle emits a frequency of 4500hz.What frequency does the little boy hear asthe train barrels off into the distance? The speedof sound in air is 343m/s
A bat flying at a speed of 5.7 m/s pursues an insect flying in the same direction. The bat emits a 49000-Hz sonar pulse and hears the pulse reflected back from the insect at a frequency of (49000 + 590) Hz. Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s. What is the speed of the insect, in meters per second, relative to the air?
