first thread, sorry if its in the wrong place.
I can't find anything about this but it seems logical none the less.
I was watching something where a noise was heard and then a plane flew by.
Assuming it was a train, to make it easier,
and you hear a train whistle and your on the track you know to get off, but is there a way of calculating the time needed to get off.
if the train is traveling at 20m/s and its a straight even line, with no wind etc, is there some sort of calculation of relativity between the sound of the train hitting you and the train's distance/time it will reach you?
or if you hear a noise of something moving in your direction can you tell its distance from you at that point?
I hope there is a way because that could be really useful if applied to the right areas
