A physics exam question from the course phys1131, focusing on oscillations and waves. The question includes calculations related to the motion of an object under the influence of a spring, as well as the reflection of sound waves. Students are required to find various physical quantities such as acceleration, frequency, and displacement.

(S 2 P + s 2 ) " (S 1 P + s 1 ) = 0.75 eqn(1)
from Pythagoras :
(S2P + s2) 2 = 25 + (S 1 P + s 1 ) 2 eqn(2)
(S2P + s2) = 12.75 + s
Substitute into eqn(2)
(12.75 + s1)
2 = (12 + s1)
2
which can be solved for s
The answer is then 12 + s
First find s1:
s 1 =
= 4.29 # 4.3 m
new distance from S2 : 13 + s2 = 12.75 + 4.
new distance from S2 = 17 m
(c) Have to do (ii) before (i) to find the train speed.
(ii) If the frequency appears lower to the observer, the source and the observer must be moving away from each other: their velocities will be negative

(iii) Treat the wall as stationary observer: therefore f = 575 Hz
The cyclist is moving towards the wall, which has now become a source, reflecting sound at 575 Hz.
