4. Going back to the dog whistle in question 1, what is the minimum riding speed needed to be able to hear the whistle? Remember, you can assume the following things: The whistle you use to call your hunting dog has a frequency of 21.0 kHz, but your dog is ignoring it. You suspect the whistle may not be working, but you can't hear sounds above 20.0 kHz. The speed of sound is 330 m/s at the current air temperature.

Answer:

The minimum riding speed relative to the whistle (stationary) to be able to hear the sound at 21.0 kHz frequency is 15.7 m/s

Explanation:

The Doppler shift equation is given as follows;

[tex]f' = \dfrac{v - v_o}{v + v_s} \times f[/tex]

Where:

f' = Required observed frequency = 20.0 kHz

f = Real frequency = 21.0 kHz

v = Sound wave velocity = 330 m/s

[tex]v_o[/tex] = Observer velocity = X m/s

[tex]v_s[/tex] = Source velocity = 0 m/s (Assuming the source is stationary)

Which gives;

[tex]20 = \dfrac{330- v_o}{330+0} \times 21[/tex]

330 - [tex]v_o[/tex] = (20/21)*330

[tex]v_o[/tex] = 330 - (20/21)*330 = 15.7 m/s

The minimum riding speed relative to the whistle (stationary) to be able to hear the sound at 21.0 kHz frequency = 15.7 m/s.
