1) Motionless: It is a still day. You stand motionless, relative to earth. The car is in front of you. The car stands motionless, relative to earth. The car blares its horn which has a frequency of 68 Hz. The velocity of sound relative to air is 340 m/s. a) What is the wavelength that the driver and you experience? What is the frequency that you observe?
It Moves: It is still a still day. You stand motionless, relative to earth. Right now, the car travels at 30 m/s, relative to earth, towards you. The car blares its horn which has a frequency of 68 Hz. The velocity of sound relative to air is 340 m/s. a) What is the wavelength that the driver and you experience? b) What is the frequency that you observe?
One second later, the car passes you and is traveling at 30 m/s, relative to earth, away from you. The car is still blaring the same horn. What is the wavelength that the driver and you experience? d) What is the frequency that you observe?
3) I Move: It is still a still day. Right now, you move towards the car at 30 m/s, relative to earth. The car stands motionless, relative to earth. The car blares its horn which has a frequency of 68 Hz. The velocity of sound relative to air is 340 m/s. a) What is the wavelength that the driver and you experience? b) What is the frequency that you observe?

4) Motionless? It is a windy day. The wind travels from the car to you at a rate of 30 m/s, relative to the earth. You stand motionless, relative to earth. The car is in front of you. The car stands motionless, relative to earth. The car blares its horn which has a frequency of 68 Hz. The velocity of sound relative to air is 340 m/s. a) What is the wavelength that the driver and you experience? b) What is the frequency that you observe? (c) Why?
