What else can I help you with?
Does the Doppler Effect mean that an observer ahead of a train hears the train at a higher frequency sound than an observer behind the train?
Yes that is the case.
Would you hear a change in pitch if you are on a moving train and the train whistle blows?
Yes, you would hear a change in pitch. As the train approaches you, the pitch of the whistle would sound higher because the sound waves are compressed. As the train moves away from you, the pitch would sound lower as the sound waves are stretched out. This is known as the Doppler effect.
Does a non moving train have potential energy?
Yes, a non-moving train has potential energy stored in its position due to gravity. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the train starts moving.
Why all papers attract to train when moving?
Because of Bernoulli's principle. A moving train makes the air close(r) to the train move faster. Faster moving air has less pressure. So a paper is sucked closer to the train because of the pressure differential.
If a train is heading North at 5 mph and you are inside the train walking towards the rear of the train down the aisle at 2 mph How fast are you moving?
You are moving at 3 mph relative to the ground since you are walking at 2 mph towards the rear of the train while the train is moving at 5 mph towards the North. This is calculated by subtracting your walking speed from the train's speed.
What is a train example of the Doppler effect?
A train horn sounding higher in pitch as it approaches you and lower in pitch as it moves away is a common example of the Doppler effect. This occurs because the sound waves are compressed (higher pitch) when the train is moving towards you, and stretched (lower pitch) when it is moving away.
How is the Doppler effect on light waves analogous to the apparent change in pich of a passing train whistle?
When the train gets close to you the sound wave are compressed making a higher pitch noise and as the train passes the sound waves become lengthened. That is the doppler effect in a nutshell. Now just compare it to how the doppler effect changes light waves.
What is the name of the distortion of sound eg when a train passes a car horn when moving?
Doppler
What happens to the sound of a train whistle as the train approaches and then passes?
This is known as the Doppler effect. As the train approaches you, the wavelength of the sound waves it emits are compressed, and therefore the whistle sounds higher. When the train is moving away, the wavelengths are extended, causing the whistle to sound lower. If the train were not moving at all, the pitch you would hear from the whistle would be somewhere between the high and low pitches you hear when the train is moving.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Why_is_the_pitch_of_a_train's_whistle_higher_as_the_train_approaches_and_loweras_it_moves_away#ixzz1DToTuS3j
Why is the pitch of a train's whistle higher as the train approaches and loweras it moves away?
This is known as the Doppler effect. As the train approaches you, the wavelength of the sound waves it emits are compressed, and therefore the whistle sounds higher. When the train is moving away, the wavelengths are extended, causing the whistle to sound lower. If the train were not moving at all, the pitch you would hear from the whistle would be somewhere between the high and low pitches you hear when the train is moving.
How would the boy standing on hears the sound by a man in a moving train blows the train's horn. the train is moving away from a boy standing on the ground.?
The boy standing on the ground would hear the sound as the train’s horn is being blown, but the pitch would gradually decrease as the train moves away from him. This is due to the Doppler effect, where the frequency of the sound waves decreases as the source of the sound moves away from the observer.

Why the tree near the train are seen running faster then distanced tree?
Doppler effect
What is it called when the change in pitch of a train's horn as it passes while you are standing still can be explained by?
The change in pitch of a train's horn as it passes while you are standing still can be explained by the Doppler Effect. Just as any other horn or fast moving sound, When a object emitting loud sound is coming towards you, the sound is compressed and sounds like a higher pitch. When the object is moving away the sound is expanded sounding like a lower pitch.
Does the Doppler Effect mean that an observer ahead of a train hears the train at a higher frequency sound than an observer behind the train?
Yes that is the case.
When does an observer at the crossing hear the lowest frequency of the trains whistle?
The observer at the crossing hears the lowest frequency of the train’s whistle when the train is moving away from them. This is due to the Doppler effect, where the pitch of the sound decreases as the source moves away from the observer.
