You are riding your bicycle directly away from a stationary source of sound and hear a frequency that is 0.7% lower than the emitted frequency. The speed of sound is 346 m/s. What is your speed?

Expert Solution

Let the frequency of the source be F.
Given that frequency heard is 0.7 % lower than the initial frequecy

           F ' = ( 100% - 0.7 % ) F

           F ' = 99.3 % F

or     F ' = 0. 993 F

        F ' / F = 0. 993

According to Doppler effect, the frequency of the sound heard is given as

       F ' = F [ V / ( V+ Vs) ]

   Here V is speed of sound and Vs is speed of the observer

       F' / F = [ V / ( V+ Vs) ]

     Plug in values

      0.993 = [ 346 / ( 346 + Vs ) ]

   Solving for Vs

       Vs = 348.44m/s - 344 m/s

            = 4.44 m/s ANSWER

I hope help you.....

(1) (A)You approach a stationary sound source with a speed such that the frequency of sound you hear is 17% greater than the actual frequency. With what speed are you approaching the sound source? Use the speed of sound in air as 343 m/s. (B)Two trains approach each other on separate but adjacent tracks. Train 1 is traveling at a speed of 31.9 m/s and train 2 at a speed of 27.6 m/s. If the engineer of train 1 sounds...

Suppose that when you’re 12 ft away from the source of a sound, it’s intensity is 3 X 10^-6 W/m^2, If you move so that you are now 6ft away from the source of the sound, what is the intensity? If you move again so that now you’re 24 ft away from the source of the sound, what is the intensity? At what point do you perceive the sound as having the highest amplitude?

You are thrown from a bicycle while riding at speed on a gravel road. Immediately you start bleeding from several places where the gravel cut through your epidermis into your dermis and broke numerous blood vessels. Your body's first response to this injury is to begin the process known as [a]. This process has three steps. [b]: the [e] in the tunica media of your damaged blood vessels begins to contract, [f] blood flow to this portion of vessel, in...

Your income response for bicycle riding changes with the amount of income you earn. At low levels of income, you view bicycle riding as an inferior good and substitute other types of transportation as your income rises. However, you view bicycle riding as a normal good after your income rises above a particular level. What shape does your Engel curve for bicycle riding have?
