Question
Two cars A & B are driving away from each other and sounding their horns. You are the driver
of car B which is travelling at a speed of 23.6m/s and you measured the horn of the other car
to be sounded at 885HZ, which is travelling at a speed of 27.9m/s. Speed of sound is 340m/s.
Calculate the following:
a) Speed of the observer in m/s
