A car sounding its horn (rated by the manufacturer at 600 Hz) is moving at 15.0 m/s toward the east. A stationary observer is standing due east of the oncoming car.
1) What frequency will he hear assuming that the speed of sound is 343 m/s? (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
2) What if the observer is standing due west of the car as it drives away? (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
fd=f*(v+vr)/(v-vs).
receiver is moving towards the source: (v+vr).
receiver is moving away from the source: (v-vr).
source is moving towards the receiver: (v-vs).
source is moving away from the receiver: (v+vs).
(a) source is moving towards the receiver: (v-vs)
fd=f*(v+vr)/(v-vs) ,vr=0
fd= 600*343/(343-15)
fd= 627.43 [Hz].
(b) source is moving away from the receiver: (v+vs)
fd=f*(v+vr)/(v+vs) ,vr=0
fd= 600*343/(343+15)
fd= 574.86 [Hz].

A train travelling at 43.4 m/s is approaching a stationary observer, and sounding a warning horn at 448 Hz. If the speed of sound is 340.7 m/s, calculate the frequency which the observer hears, in Hz to 3 sf.
A car's horn produces a frequency of 440 Hz at rest.If the car is traveling east at 20 m/s towards an observer, what speed and direction (E or W) must an observer have to hear a frequency of 450 Hz?
1. A bystander hears a siren vary in frequency from 586 Hz to 392 Hz as a fire truck approaches, passes by, and moves away on a straight street. What is the speed of the truck? (Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.) Answer in 3 significant figures m/s 2. A trailer truck traveling east at 34.0 m/s sounds a 1200 Hz horn. What is the wavelength of the sound heard by a stationary listener located...
A trailer truck traveling east at 24.0 m/s sounds a 600 Hz horn. What is the wavelength of the sound heard by a stationary listener located west of the truck? (The speed of sound is 336 m/s)
A car is parked 20.0 m directly south of a railroad crossing. A train is approaching the crossing from the west, headed directly east at a speed of 55.5 m/s. The train sounds a short blast of its 312-Hz horn when it reaches a point 20.0 m west of the crossing. What frequency does the car's driver hear when the horn blast reaches the car? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. (Hint: Assume that only the component...
An ambulance sounding its siren with a frequency of 1550 Hz is traveling along a straight road with a speed of 34 m/s. Two cars are ahead of the ambulance in an adjacent lane. One car has completely stopped. A second car continues to travel in the same direction as the ambulance with a speed of 20 m/s. (a) Which of the two cars hears the highest pitch coming from the ambulance? Explain. (b) Suppose the driver of the stationary...
As you stand by the side of the road, a car approaches you at a constant speed, sounding its horn, and you hear a frequency of 80.0 Hz. After the car goes by, you hear a frequency of 60.0 Hz. What is the speed of the car? Assume that he speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
A police car sounding a siren with a frequency of 1280 Hz is traveling at 110.0 km/s. a) What frequencies does an observer standing next to the road hear as the car approaches and as it recedes? b) What frequencies are heard in a car traveling at 110.0 km/h in the opposite direction before and after passing the police car? c) The police car passes a car traveling in the same direction at 90.00 km/h. What two frequencies before and...
A train is moving at 23 m/s east when it blasts its horn at a frequency of 164 Hz. what frequency is heard by the driver of a car moving east at 15 m/s along a road parallel to the tracks? the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
The siren on an ambulance is emitting a sound whose frequency is 2850 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. (a) If the ambulance is stationary and you (the "observer") are sitting in a parked car, what are the wavelength and the frequency of the sound you hear? (b) Suppose that the ambulance is moving toward you at a speed of 26.6 m/s. Determine the wavelength and the frequency of the sound you hear. (c) If the ambulance is...
