Two trains move towards each other with ...

Two trains move towards each other with the same speed. The speed of sound is `340 ms^(-1)` . If the height of the tone of the whistle of one of them heard on the other is 9/8 times the actual frequency, then the speed of each train should be `x xx 10 ms^(-1)`, what is the value of x ?

A source and a detector move away from each other, each with a speed of 10 m/s with respect to ground with no wind. If the detector detects a frequency 1650 Hz of the sound coming from the source, what is the original frequency of the source? (speed of sound = 340 m/s

Two trains are moving towards each other at speeds of 144 km/hr and 54 km/hr relative to the ground. The first train sounds a whistle of frequency 600 Hz. Find the frequency of the whistle as heard by a passenger in the second train before the trains meet. (y =340m/s)

A stone dropped from the top of a tower of height 300 m high splashes into the a pond of water near the base of the tower.When is the splash heard at the top given that the speed of sound air is 340 ms^(-1) . (g = 9.8 ms^(-2))

A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed 34m/s. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by observer is f_(1) . If the trains speed is reduced to 17m/s, the frequency registered is f_(2) . If the speed of sound is 340m/s, then the ratio (f_(1))/(f_(2)) is
