***Assume that the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, at 20C,UNLESSOTHERWISE NOTED.***

1.While fishing from a boat anchored offshore, you seeanotherfishing boat between your boat and the shore. The other boatsoundsa 510 Hz horn as it heads toward the shore at a speed of 18m/s
a) If your fishing boat is stationary, what is the frequency ofthesound waves from the horn that reach you?
b) If your fishing boat now heads out to sea at a speed of 15m/s,what is the frequency of the sound waves from the horn thatreachyou?

2. A species of bar navigates by emitting short bursts ofsoundwaves that have a frequency range that peaks at 58.0kHz.
a) If a bat is flying at 4.0 m/s toward a stationary object, whatisthe frequency of the sound waves reaching the object?
b) What is the frequency of the reflected sound waves detectedbythe bat?
c) What is the difference between the frequency of the soundwavesemitted by the bat and the frequency of the sound wavesdetected bythe bat if the bat is flying at 4.0 m/s and the objectis a mothapproaching at 1.0 m/s?

Earthquakes generate sound waves inside Earth. Unlike a gas, Earth can experience both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves. Typically, the speed of S waves is about 4.76 km/s, and that of P waves 8.28 km/s. A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P waves arrive 2.38 min before the first S waves. If the waves travel in a straight line, how far away does the earthquake occur, in km?

Earthquakes generate sound waves inside Earth. Unlike a gas, Earth can experience both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves. Typically, the speed of S waves is about 4.5 km/s and that of P waves 8 km/s. A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P waves arrive 3.9 min before the first S waves. Assuming the waves travelled in a straight line, how far away did the earthquake occur?
