How Does Doppler Effect Influence Perceived Sound Frequency?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the perceived frequency range of sound emitted by a speaker attached to a spring. Using the parameters of a spring constant of 20.0 N/m, a mass of 5.00 kg, and an amplitude of 0.500 m, the speaker emits a sound frequency of 440 Hz. The user applies the formula for maximum and minimum frequencies based on the Doppler effect, incorporating the speed of the speaker calculated as 0.707 m/s. The derived frequency range is between 439 Hz and 441 Hz, indicating the influence of the Doppler effect on perceived sound frequency. The calculations appear to be on the right track for determining the frequency range.

7. A block with a speaker bolted to it is connected to a spring having spring constant k = 20.0 N/m as in Figure 3. The total mass of the block and speaker is 5.00 kg, and the amplitude of this unit’s motion is 0.500 m. If the speaker emits sound waves of frequency 440 Hz, determine the range in frequencies heard by the person to the right of the speaker.
Ans: [ 439 Hz < f < 441 Hz ]


Can anyone help me to solve this? Give me some clues please.

I do it in this way:

1/2 k x^2 = ma
a = 0.5
And I found the value of v1 (speed of speaker) = 0.707 by using v1^2 = u^2 =2as

Then I find the max frequency by f`=f ( v / ( v-v1))
min frequescy = f`=f ( v / ( v+v1))


Am I doing correctly?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
