What frequency does the cars driver hear

Reference no: EM13663833

A train is moving parallel and adjacent to a highway with a constant speed of 25 m/s. A car, at time t0, is 42 m behind the train, travelling in the similar direction as the train at 49 m/s, and accelerating at 4 m/s^2. The train's whistle blows at a frequency of 460Hz. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. At the moment t0, the car's driver hears a whistle from the train.

What frequency does the car's driver hear?

Part B. @ a time t, after the car has passed the train and is a distance 32 m ahead of the train, the whistle blows again. What frequency does the driver hear?
