Two test pilots are in identical jets that produce a characteristic tone of 507 Hz. One jet is stationary on the airstrip and the second is approaching the airstrip at a speed of 64.6% 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 smaller Doppler shift?
the stationary pilotthe moving pilot
(b) the frequency heard by the pilot in the moving jet
Hz
(c) the frequency heard by the pilot in the stationary jet
Hz
Children standing on a bridge are throwing rocks into the river below. A child throws a rock such that its initial velocity is 9.50 m/s at an angle of 22.0° below the horizontal. Determine the following if the time of flight for the rock is 5.00 s.
(a) horizontal distance from where the child releases the rock
to where it lands in the water
m
(b) height from which the rock was thrown
m
(c) time it takes the rock to reach a distance 2.00 m below the
level where it is released
s
