Question

Transcribed Image Text:*81. CD A car is parked 20.0 m directly south of a railroad crossing. A
train is approaching the crossing from the west, headed directly east at a
speed of 55.0 m/s. The train sounds a short blast of its 289-Hz horn when
it reaches a point 20.0 m west of the crossing. What frequency does the
car's driver hear when the horn blast reaches the car? The speed of sound
in air is 343 m/s. (Hint: Assume that only the component of the train's
velocity that is directed toward the car affects the frequency heard by the
driver.)
