Two people are moving relative to each other. One person is blowing a precision whistle that has a rated frequency of 392 Hz. If the person with the whistle has a speed of 26.4 moving away from the other person, what must the speed of the other person be if they are to perceive the whistle as having a frequency of 385 Hz?

A sound wave in air has a pressure amplitude equal to 4.00 103 Pa. Calculate the displacement amplitude of the wave at a frequency of 10.0 kHz.
An elf is moving behind a Orc bard that is singing very loudly and triumphantly. If the Orc is singing at an average frequency of 377 Hz and joyously skipping forward at a speed of 9.3 m/s, how fast would the elf have to be moving and in what direction for the frequency to be heard as 359 Hz? Take the speed of sound to be 340 m/s.
The siren of a policy car at rest emits a frequency of 1600 Hz. What frequency do you detect if you move with a speed of 40 m/s toward the policy car? Assume: The Speed of the sound is 344 m/s.
An alert physics student stands beside the tracks as a train rolls slowly past. He notes that the frequency of the train whistle is 461 Hz when the train is approaching him and 441 Hz when the train is receding from him. Using these frequencies, he calculates the speed of the train. What value does he find? (Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.)
A train approaches a station platform at a speed of 10 m/s, blowing its whistle at a frequency of 100 Hz, as measured by the engineer. What frequency will be measured by a person on the platform walking in the same direction as the train is moving at 1 m/s? (Assume the velocity of sound is 342 m/s.)
The driver of a car, who is approaching a siren at a speed of 90 km/h hears a sound with frequency of 520 Hz. Then he reduces the speed of the car and hears a sound with a frequency of 510 Hz. What is the frequency of the sound emitted by the siren? What is the car's new speed?
An alert physics student stands beside the tracks as a train rolls slowly past. He notes that the frequency of the train whistle is 463.0 Hz when the train is approaching him and 440.0 Hz when the train is receding from him. Using these frequencies, he calculates the speed of the train. What value does he find? Assume the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
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
You are driving down the street with your windows open enjoying the nice day. On this nice 20°C day, the velocity of sound in air is 343 m/s . You see a person sitting on a park bench and hear him whistling just after you drive by. If the person whistles at a frequency of 1450 Hz and you drive away at a speed of 17 m/s, what frequency of sound do you observe?
As you stand by a railroad track, a train approaches with its whistle blowing. After the train has passed you, you hear that the whistle frequency is 18.0% lower than its frequency while the train was approaching. How fast is the train moving? Express your answer in km/hr. (Note that the speed of sound that day is 332.7 m/s.)
