Question
In case 1, a source of sound approaches a stationary observer
at speed u. In case 2, the observer moves toward the stationary source at
the same speed u. If the source is always producing the same frequency
sound, will the observer hear the same frequency in both cases, since
the relative speed is the same each time? Why or why not?

An observer is to the right of train A and is moving to the right, away from train A, at 20 m/s. Train B is to the right of the observer and train A. It is moving to the right at 35 m/s, away from both the observer and train A. The temperature is 20 degrees C.
