Two trains approach each other on separate but adjacent tracks. Train 1 is traveling at a speed of 29.9 m/s and train 2 at a speed of 21.6 m/s. If the engineer of train 1 sounds his horn which has a frequency of 520 Hz, determine the frequency of the sound heard by the engineer of train 2. (Use 343 m/s as the speed of sound. Enter your answer to the nearest Hz.)______ Hz

  • A train is moving parallel and adjacent to a highway with a constant speed of 32 m/s.

     A train is moving parallel and adjacent to a highway with a constant speed of 32 m/s. A car is traveling in the same direction as the train at 64 m/s. The car's horn sounds at 520 Hz and the train's whistle sounds at 320 Hz. When the car is behind the train what frequency does an occupant of the car observe for the train whistle? The speed of sound is 343 m/s. Answer in units of Hz. When the car is in...

    A train is moving pass a crossing where cars are waiting for it to pass. While waiting, the driver of the lead car becomes sleepy and rests his head on the steering wheel, unintentionally activating the car's horn. A passenger in the back of the train hears the horn's sound at a frequency of 444 Hz and a passenger in the front hears it at 415 Hz. Find the train's speed and the horn's frequency, assuming the sound travels along...
