A train on one track moves in the same direction as a second train on the adjacent track. The first train, which is ahead of the second train and moves with a speed of 36.4 m/s , blows a horn whose frequency is 125 Hz . If the frequency heard on the second train is 134 Hz , what is its speed?

A commuter train blows its horn as it passes a passenger platform at a constant speed of 37.3 m/s. The train horn sounds at a frequency of 340 Hz when the train is at rest. What is the frequency observed by a person on the platform as the train approaches? What is the frequency observed by that person as the train recedes from him? Calculate the wavelength for the approaching train. Calculate the wavelength for the receding train.

Two trains are traveling on the same track in the same direction. The whistles of both trains produce a 440Hz frequency sound. The lead train is traveling at 120km/hr. Both trains blow their whistles. The driver of the lead train hears that the following train has a higher frequency sound. She also notices an oscillation of 4.0 Hz. A.) How do you explain the higher frequency sound heard by the lead train driver? B.) How do you explain the 4.0Hz...

Two firecrackers explode simultaneously 125 m apart along a straight railroad track. A train moves along the track at 25 m s−1. (a) How far apart are the explosions as measured by the train driver? (b) If instead of a simultaneous explosion, the firecracker 125 m farther ahead explodes 3 s before the other. How far apart would the explosions be to the train driver? (c) What can you conclude from your calculations in (a) and (b)?

A train is moving parallel and adjacent to a highway with a constant speed of 31 m/s. A car is traveling in the same direction as the train at 55 m/s. The train’s whistle sounds at 330 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.
