A bird is flying directly toward a stationary bird-watcher and emits a frequency of 1100 Hz. The bird-watcher, however, hears a frequency of 1130 Hz. What is the speed of the bird, expressed as a percentage of the speed of sound?   

Speed of sound in air (v) 343m/s

Source:

         Frequency(fs): 1100 Hz

         Velocity(vs): ?

Stationary:

         Frequency(fl): 1130 Hz

         Velocty(vl): 0 m/s

Applying the Doppler effect:

Since the source is approaching towardsthe listener, the velocity of the source isnegative.

In music, middle C has a frequency of about 256 Hz - the precise frequency depends on the tuning scheme. How does the wavelength of a middle C note propagating through air compare to the size of a typical human body? How does the wavelength of the same note propagating through water compare to the human body? What frequency of sound in air has a wavelength nearly the size of a human head? This size is important because we have...

A new type of bird capable of self-propulsion is designed in order to maximise its flying distance in the presence of aerodynamic drag. This new bird, having the initial mass of mo, generates thrust by ejecting 1% of its initial mass (0.01mo) with the velocity of 50m/s in the direction opposite to the bird’s instantaneous velocity relative to the bird every 0.1s (similar to how rockets generate thrust). function [vx_f,vy_f,m_f] = mass_ejection(vx_i,vy_i,v_eb,m_i,m_e) % Inputs: % vx_i: Velocity component in x...
