1) [10 pts) On a long trip that you take to forget for a while about physics, you find yourself driving directly towards a canyon wall. You've previously noticed that your car horn has a frequency of 440 Hz. You glance at the speedometer and notice you're moving at 30 km/h. a. What is your horn's frequency as heard by a person standing motionless at the base of the canyon? b. What will be the beat frequency that you (in the car) will hear between the car horn's sound and the reflected sound from the wall? (Take the speed of sound in air to be 340 m/s. Be careful in part b) - there are two Doppler shifts).

The determined Wile E. Coyote is out once more to try to capture the elusive roadrunner. The coyote wears a new pair of power roller skates, which provide a constant horizontal acceleration of 15.0 m/s², as shown in Figure P3.59. The coyote starts off at rest 70.0 m from the edge of a cliff at the instant the roadrunner zips in the direction of the cliff, (a) If the roadrunner moves with constant speed, find the minimum speed the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote. (b) If the cliff is 1.00 × 10² m above the base of a canyon, find where the coyote lands in the canyon. (Assume his skates are still in operation when he is in “flight” and that his horizontal component of acceleration remains constant at 15.0 m/s².)
