Question
A person riding in car is blowing an air horn at a frequency of 302 Hz. You are sitting on a bench at the bus stop, minding your own business? The car is moving quickly at 85 mph (38 m/s). What is the frequency that you hear as the car drives away? It is a hot day so the speed of sound is 350m/s.

- Going down the road at 65 miles per hour on a 86.0 °F summer day, Bari heard a siren approaching. Bari knows that a police siren's frequency is 1280.0 Hz, but it didn't sound like that. Bari pulled over a lane, without slowing down, after seeing the flashing lights of the police car coming up from behind, and the police passed going 25 miles per hour faster than Bari was going. (1 mile = 1.60 km) a) what was the speed of sound on that warm summer day? b) How fast, in m/s, was the police car going? c) What frequency did Bari hear from the siren before the police car passed? d) What frequency did Bari hear from the siren after the police care had passed?arrow_forwardA ship's sonar uses a frequency of 22.5 kHz.
