Explain why the sound produced by the horn of an approaching car seems to have a higher frequency than one that is stationary.

If the same car approached at a much higher speed, how would this affect the frequency of the sound heard?

Describe the frequency of the sound heard by the observer if the car is moving away at high speed.

The process for buying a car in the U.S. seems to usually exhibit the following characteristics (it may differ from these, but I’m not an expert in the auto industry so just take these as given for the sake of argument): A car dealership purchases cars from a manufacturer at a specific wholesale price, set by the manufacturer. The car dealership puts a sticker in the car window which includes the MSRP, or manufacturer suggested retail price. The car dealership...

If a sound with frequency fs is produced by a source traveling along a line with speed vs. If an observer is traveling with speed vo along the same line from the opposite direction toward the source, then the frequency of the sound heard by the observer is fo = c + vo c − vs fs where c is the speed of sound, about 332 m/s. (This is the Doppler effect.) Suppose that, at a particular moment, you are...

A police cruiser, approaching a right-angled intersection from the north, is chasing a speeding car that has turned the corner and is now moving straight east. When the cruiser is 1 mi north of the intersection and the car is 1 mi to the east, the police determine with radar that the distance between them and the car is increasing at    2–√     mph. If the cruiser is moving at 60 mph at the instant of measurement, what is the speed of the...
