A train approaches a crossing at a speed of 20.0 m/s, sounding a horn with a frequency of 1000 Hz. A driver stopped at the crossing blows his horn (f = 800 Hz) in frustration. (a) What frequency does the driver hear coming from the approaching train horn? (b) The driver continues blowing his horn after the train passes. What frequency does the train engineer hear coming from the car horn as the train moves away from the crossing?

An observer is standing on the station platform when a high-speed train passes through at ?=0.9438c.  The observer, who measures the platform to be exactly ??=68m, notices that the front and back of the train simultaneously line up exactly with the ends of the platform. NOTE: For the speed of light, use exactly ?=299792459 m/s (a) What is the length of the platform, according to an observer on the train? ?′?= mm (b) What is the length of the train, according...

Example 14-11 depicts the following scenario. A train sounds its whistle as it approaches a tunnel in a cliff. The whistle produces a tone of 650.0 HzHz, and the train travels with a speed of 21.2 m/sm/s. Now we will consider some slightly different scenarios related to Example 14-11. A)Suppose the engineer adjusts the speed of the train until the sound he hears reflected from the cliff is 770 HzHz . The train's whistle still produces a tone of 650.0...
