Complete Question

A commuter train passes a passenger platform at a constant speed of 39.6 m/s. The train horn is sounded at its characteristic frequency of 350 Hz.

(a)

What overall change in frequency is detected by a person on the platform as the train moves from approaching to receding

(b) What wavelength is detected by a person on the platform as the train approaches?

$\Delta f = 81.93 \ Hz$

$\lambda_1 = 0.867 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the train is v_t = 39.6 m/s

The frequency of the train horn is $f_t = 350 \ Hz$

Generally the speed of sound has a constant values of v_s = 343 m/s

Now according to dopplers equation when the train(source) approaches a person on the platform(observe) then the frequency on the sound observed by the observer can be mathematically represented as

$f_1 = f * \frac{v_s}{v_s - v_t}$

substituting values

$f_1 = 350 * \frac{343 }{343-39.6}$

$f_1 = 395.7 \ Hz$

Now according to dopplers equation when the train(source) moves away from the person on the platform(observe) then the frequency on the sound observed by the observer can be mathematically represented as

$f_2 = f * \frac{v_s}{v_s +v_t}$

substituting values

$f_2 = 350 * \frac{343}{343 + 39.6}$

$f_2 = 313.77 \ Hz$

The overall change in frequency is detected by a person on the platform as the train moves from approaching to receding is mathematically evaluated as

$\Delta f = f_1 - f_2$

$\Delta f = 395.7 - 313.77$

$\Delta f = 81.93 \ Hz$

Generally the wavelength detected by the person as the train approaches is mathematically represented as

$\lambda_1 = \frac{v}{f_1 }$

$\lambda_1 = \frac{343}{395.7 }$

$\lambda_1 = 0.867 \ m$

Distance covered, s = 8ft - 4ft = 4 ftinitial velocity, u = 34 ft/sthe acrobat is moving upwards and therefore, a = -g = -9.81 m/s^2 = 32.19 ft/s^2applying equation of motion; s = ut -1/2gt^2then,4 = 34t -1/2*32.19t^24 = 34t - 16.095t^2rearranging; -16.095t^2 + 34t - 4 = 0solving the quadratic equation; t = {-34 +/- sqrt [34^2 - 4(-16.)]}/2(-16.095) = 1.06 +/- 0.93 = 0.13 or 1.99the acrobat will take 0.13 seconds to be at 8 ft above the ground. additionally, once at the maximum height, the acrobat will move down and be at the same spot (that is height) after 1.99 seconds moving down.
