3. You are listening to two fire trucks with sirens blaring headed to a fire down the street. One has passed you and is headed away from you already. The other is headed down the street toward you. You know that these fire engine sirens play a note at a frequency of 700 Hz (20 points).

(a) You listen to the sounds of the two sirens and you notice a fast “wobbling” of the sounds from the two sirens at a rate of 20 beats per second. If both fire engines are traveling at the same speed, at what speed do the trucks travel?
(b) If you hear one of the sirens at a sound level of 80 dB at a distance of 30 meters, what is the sound level for a fireman sitting on the truck at a distance of only 1.5 meters away from the siren? Consider the case when the fire engine is stationary.
(c) What is the pressure amplitude of this sound wave heard at a distance of 30 meters? Consider the case when the fire engine is stationary.

He thinks that the fire trucks are getting in the way of each other and requires that only 2 fire trucks can arrive at any scene. He did not consider that the size of the fire determines both the number of fire trucks that arrive on the scene and the fire damage. What error did he make? Group...

Exercise 3 - Listening Styles In your text, you learned that Geier and Downey (1980) believe that there are six styles of listening: leisure, inclusive, stylistic, technical, empathic, and nonconforming. Each style of listener "hears" only communications that are consistent with his/her style. The purpose of this exercise is to provide you with an opportunity to practice communicating in different ways to different types of listeners. For each of the situations below, indicate how you would speak to each of...

Interpersonal Communication: Listening Actively [LO-5] You are planning to study the listening behavior of some of your classmates. Select six classmates and select three situations in which you would like to observe their listening behavior. Referring to the traits of effective listeners in Table 2.3, rate them using always, frequently, occasionally, or never on these listening habits. Does the change in situation have an impact on their active listening behavior? If so, why do you think this might have happened?

Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h flies off the front of one train when they are 67 km apart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train it flies directly back to the first train, and so forth. (We have no idea why a bird would behave in this way.) What is the total distance the...

Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total...
