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. (a) How far does the train on the left travel before the front ends of the trains pass? m (b) If the trains are each 150 m in length, how long after the start are they completely past one...

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...

. Two masses travel toward each other across a horizontal, frictionless surface. They collide, resulting in 100 Joules of kinetic energy being lost. Below is a list of the known quantities. Mass#1 = 5.00 kg and has an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s to the right and a final velocity of 3.00 m/s to the right. Mass#2 = unknown and has an initial velocity of 4.00 m/s to the left and a final velocity that is unknown. What is the...

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.

a. Two air-track gliders with equal and opposite speeds of 10.00 cm/s head toward each other and collide, sticking together. Glider A, coming from the left, has a mass of 250.g, while glider B, coming from the right, has a mass of 500. g. What is the final velocity of the stuck-together pair, and in which direction? (The gliders are constrained to move only along the x-axis. Ignore friction.) Show your work completely b. Using the values above (both given...
