Two sources of sound $S_1$ and $S_2$ produce sound waves of same frequency $660\, Hz$. $A$ listener is moving from source $S_1$ towards $S_2$ with a constant speed $u\, m/s$ and he hears $10\, \text{beats/s}$. The velocity of sound is $330\, m/s$. Then, $u$ equals ... $m/s$.

When both the source of sound and the observer approach each other with a speed equal to $10 \%$ of the speed of sound,then the percentage change in frequency heard by the observer is nearly (in $\%$)

$A$ stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$,which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2\%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km/h$) to the nearest integer? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound,which is $330 \ m/s$.

An observer is moving towards a stationary source of sound. In this case:

The frequency changes by $10 \%$ as a sound source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed $V_s$. What would be the percentage change in the frequency as the source recedes from the observer with the same speed $\left(V_s < V\right)$ (in $.5$)?
