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 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...

Two trains face each other on adjacent tracks. They are initially at rest, and their front ends are 33 m apart. The train on the left accelerates rightward at 1.06 m/s2. The train on the right accelerates leftward at 1.02 m/s2.

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...
