A train is traveling at 30.0 m/s relative to the ground in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the train whistle is 262 Hz. 

The speed of sound in air should be taken as 344 m/s. 


Part A

What frequency fapproach is heard by a passenger on a train moving at a speed of 18.0 m/s relative to the ground in a direction opposite to the first train and approaching it? 

Express your answer in hertz. 


Part B 

What frequency frecede is heard by a passenger on a train moving at a speed of 18.0 m/s relative to the ground in a direction opposite to the first train and receding from it? 

Express your answer in hertz.

    An alert physics student stands beside the tracks as a train rolls slowly past. He notes that the frequency of the train whistle is 464 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.)
