To measure her speed, a skydiver carries a buzzer emitting a steady tone at 1 800 Hz. A friend on the ground at the landing site directly below listens to the amplified sound he receives. Assume the air is calm and the speed of sound is independent of altitude. While the skydiver is falling at terminal speed, her friend on the ground receives waves of frequency 2 150 Hz. (a) What is the skydivers speed of descent? (b) What If? Suppose the skydiver can hear the sound of the buzzer reflected from the ground. What frequency does she receive?
Student A runs after Student B. Student A carries a tuning fork ringing at 1024 Hz, and student B carries a tuning fork ringing at 1000 Hz. Student A is running at a speed of vA=5.00 m/s and Student B is running at vB=6.00 m/s. What is the beat frequency heard by each student? The speed of sound is v=343.00 m/s.
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.
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?
There was an accident, and NASA engineers are trying to sort out where two of their Mars Rovers, Tango and Foxtrot, have landed. The engineers know that landing site A is much hotter than landing site B. Unfortunately, the only working sensors on Tango and Foxtrot measure the speed of sound. If Tango measures the speed of sound at its landing site as 240 m/s, while Foxtrot measures speed of sound as 258 m/s at its landing site, where has each rover landed?

Two cars A and B are traveling toward each other at speeds of 45 km/hr and 70 km/hrrespectively. If A is blowing its horn, what is the relative pitch (fL / fs ) heard by a passenger inB, considering that the velocity of sound is 344 m/s?
Does the sound intensity level b obey the inverse-square law? Why?
A steel rod 100cm long is clamped at its middle. The fundamental frequency of longitudinal vibrations of the rod is given to be 253kHz. What is the speed of sound in steel?
An automobile moving at 30 m/s is approaching a factory whistle that has a frequency of 500 Hz. (a) If the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, what is the apparent frequency of the whistle as heard by the driver? (b) Repeat for the case of the car leaving the factory at the same speed.
