Two trains are traveling toward each other at 30.6 m/s relative to the ground. One train is blowing a whistle at 580 Hz. (Give your answers to at least three significant figures.)

(a) What frequency will be heard on the other train in still air?

(b) What frequency will be heard on the other train if the wind is blowing at 30.6 m/s toward the whistle and away from the listener?

(c) What frequency will be heard if the wind direction is reversed?

Two billiard balls are initially traveling toward each other at speeds of 1.20 m/s for ball 1 and 4.65 m/s for ball 2. The balls undergo an elastic, head-on collision. Find their final velocities. ball 1 magnitude direction ---Select--- in the same direction it was initially going. opposite the direction it was initially going. ball 2 magnitude direction ---Select--- in the same direction it was initially going. opposite the direction it was initially going.

Two trains (on separate tracks) travel toward each other, the first at 60.0 km/s and the second at 40.0 km/s. Both turn on their whistle, the first one emitting a frequency of 200 Hz and the second one emitting a frequency of 220 Hz. What frequencies do they each receive if the speed of sound in air is 330 m/s? Hint: Draw a diagram or do this one in steps. Is the source or the observer moving?

Two cars are approaching each other, one traveling north with a momentum of 3 kg-m/s and one traveling east with a momentum of 4 kg-m/s. The two cars collide and stick together. Right after the collision (choose all that apply) 1. the eastern component of the momentum of the two cars is 4 kg-m/s. 2. the northern component of the momentum of the two cars is 3 kg-m/s. 3. the total momentum of the two cars is 7 kg-m/s

IP Two bicycles approach one another, each traveling with a speed of 7.50 m/s . If bicyclist A beeps a 310 Hz horn, what frequency is heard by bicyclist B? Which of the following would cause the greater increase in the frequency heard by bicyclist B: (i) Bicyclist A speeds up by 1.50 m/s, or (ii) bicyclist B speeds up by 1.5 m/s?

9. 2 kg glider is traveling toward the right with a speed of 1 m/s on an air track. A 3 kg glider is traveling on the same track to the left at 2 m/s. If they collide and stick together what speed will they move with? 10. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is stopped at a stop sign. The car accelerates to 20 m/s in 5 seconds. (a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of...

A 0.20-kg softball is traveling at a velocity of 20 m/s to the east relative to Earth. It collides head-on with a 0.40-kg rubber ball traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s to the west. The system's kinetic energy, as measured from the Earth reference frame, decreases by 19 % because of the collision. Call the east the +x direction. a) What is the x-component of the final velocity of the softball? b) What is the x-component of the final...

A passenger on a moving train walks at a speed of 1.60 m/s due north relative to the train. The passenger's speed with respect to the ground is 4.5 m/s at an angle of 35.0° west of north. What are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the train relative to the ground? _______m/s direction ______ ° west of north

Two objects of masses m and 8m are moving toward each other along the x-axis with...

Two objects of masses m and 8m are moving toward each other along the x-axis with the same initial speed v0 = 525 m/s. The object with mass m is traveling to the left, and the object with mass 8m is traveling to the right. They undergo an elastic glancing collision such that m is moving downward after the collision at a right angle from its initial direction. What is the final speeds of the two objects m and 8m?...

A sound source A and a reflecting surface B move directly toward each other. Relative to the air, the speed of source A is 29.7 m/s, the speed of surface B is 63.5 m/s, and the speed of sound is 330 m/s. The source emits waves at frequency 1350 Hz as measured in the source frame. In the reflector frame, what are (a) the frequency and (b) the wavelength of the arriving sound waves? In the source frame, what are...

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...
