Question

(10%) Problem 1: Suppose an oncoming ambulance moving at 135 km/h emits a steady 795-Hz sound from its siren. 50% Part (a) What frequency, in units of hertz, is received by a person watching the oncoming ambulance? The speed of sound on this day is 345 m/s. $f_{obs}$ = 803.73 $f_{obs}$ = 803.7 Hz Attempts Remain Feedback: is available. 50% Part (b) What frequency, in units of hertz, does she observe after the ambulance has passed? $f_{obs}$ = 803.73 Hz

Step 1

Given: Speed of the ambulance = 735 km/h To convert km/h to m/s, we divide by 3.6 (since 1 km/h = 1000 m/3600 s = 1/3.6 m/s). Speed of the ambulance in m/s = 735 km/h / 3.6 = 204.17 m/s (rounded to 2 decimal places). Show more…
