A very metal train moving at a constant speed is passing a hippie observer on a platform. On one of the train cars, a Deathcore guitarist is continually hammering out a note at a frequency of 450 Hz. After the guitarist has passed, the hippie hears the sound with a frequency of 420 Hz. What is the speed of the train? Please explain work, I always rate!!:)

A train runs between 2 stations, 2 km apart at a average speed of 40kmph. The train is made to run according to the quadrilateral speed time curve. If the max speed is to be limited to 60 kmph, acceleration to 2 kmphps, coasting retardation to 0.15 kmphps and the braking retardation to 3 kmphps. Determine the duration of acceleration, coasting and braking.

The photogates in the experiment are used to determine the speed of the gliders passing through. The photogates measure the time it takes for the photogate beam to go from being unblocked to blocked to unblocked again. You tell the photogate how long your glider is, and the speed is then calculated. Given the description of what the photogates do, how will you determine the velocity of the glider?
