    Calculating Sound Level Intensity with Multiple Jet Engines

    Yeah, i was in a rush when i posted that because my computer's being repaired and I'm at the library and time was running out. Here's my work I used relative intensity=10log (I/Io) 114=10log(I/1e-12) and got 0.251 w/m2 for I. I do not know what to do after this.

    What beat frequency will the observer detect?

    While i was waiting i looked over it again and this is what i did for another answer i got F(listener behind)=F(of source) [v/v+v(source)] I did one for each since there are two trains. For the train on rest, i did F(listner behind)=282*[343/(343+0)] which is 282 Hz For the train...

    What beat frequency will the observer detect?

    Homework Statement Two trains emit whistles of the same frequency, 282 Hz. If one train is at rest and the other is traveling at 45 km/h away from an observer at rest, what beat frequency will the observer detect? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I used listener...

    What is the Weight of a Satellite in kN?

    so what you're saying is (240)(9.81)=(6.67e-11)(m)\34830000squared ?? i solved and got 4.28e28 kg.
