Brody, The dog, is sitting at your feet like a good boy. You throw a dog toy away from you at a speed of 34 m/s (assume constant horizontal velocity). Brody runs after the ball at a constant speed of 7 m/s. The toy is designed to make a constant high frequency tone of 950 Hz as it flies through the air. What frequency do you hear the toy make?

    Answer: 1054.53 Hz

    Explanation: this is a question under the principle of Doppler effect.

    Doppler effect is a mathematical statement that gives the value of the observed frequency by an observer when there is a relative motion between the observer and the source of sound.

    This is mathematically given as

    fo = (v + vo) / (v - vs) * f

    Where fo = observed frequency = ?

    v = speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

    vo = velocity of observer = 0 (since I am at rest)

    vs = velocity of the source of sound (in this case the dog toy) = 34m/s ... this value is positive because it is moving away from the observer.

    f = frequency of sound produced by source = 950 Hz

    By substituting the parameters, we have that

    fo = (343+0) / (343-34) * 950

    fo = (343 / 309) * 950

    fo = 1.11 * 950 = 1054.53 Hz
