Two trains on separate tracks move toward one another. Train 1 has a speed of 130 km/h, train 2 a speed of 55.0 km/h. Train 2 blows its horn, emitting a frequency of 500 Hz. What is the frequency heard by the engineer on train 1? (Assume the speed of sound is 345 m/s.)

Two trains emit 439 Hz whistles. One train is stationary. The conductor on the stationary train hears a 3.3 Hz beat frequency when the other train approaches. What is the speed of the moving train? In m/s

Two trains with 134 Hz horns approach one another. The slower of the two trains has a speed of 24 m/s. What is the speed of the fast train if an observer standing near the tracks between the trains hears a beat frequency of 4.5 Hz?

Two train whistles have identical frequencies of 160 Hz. When onetrain is at rest in the station and the other is moving nearby, acommuter standing on the station platform hears beats with afrequency of 6.00 Hz when the whistles operate together. If thespeed of sound is 345 m/s, what are the two possible speeds thatthe moving train can have?

a) moving towards the station

b) moving away from the station

When at rest, two trains have sirens that emit a frequency of 300Hz. The trains travel toward one another and toward an observerstationed between them. One of the trains moves at 25.5 m/s, andthe observer hears a beat frequency of 2.8 beats per second. Whatis the speed of the second train, which travels faster than 25.5m/s?
