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...

A girl is standing at a railroad crossing for a track that runs east and west. As she faces the track, east is to her right and west is to her left. Two trains on the track some distance apart are headed west, both at speeds of 7.20 m/s, and blowing their whistles (which have the same frequency). One train is approaching her from the east and the other is traveling away from her toward the west. (Assume the speed...

Two test pilots are in identical jets that produce a characteristic tone of 587 Hz. One jet is stationary on the airstrip and the second is approaching the airstrip at a speed of 72.6% the speed of sound. Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s. The pilot of each jet listens to the sound produced by the other jet. Determine the following. (a) Which pilot hears a greater Doppler shift? the stationary pilot the moving pilot...

A person is standing at a train station, and two identical trains are passing each other 100 m down the tracks. Train A is moving away from him at 20 m/s, and train B is moving toward him at 20 m/s. As the trains pass each other, they emit identical pulses of sound from their horns. At the instant that the pulses are sounded, the trains' horns are both precisely 100 m away from him. What will the person hear?...
