An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at 1600 Hz overtakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at 2.44 m/s. After being passed; the cyclist hears a frequency of 1,586 Hz. How fast is the ambulance moving? The velocity of sound is 343 m/s.

An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at $1600 \mathrm{~Hz}$ overtakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at $2.44 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. After being passed, the cyclist hears a frequency of $1590 \mathrm{~Hz}$. How fast is the ambulance moving?
An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at $1620 \mathrm{~Hz}$ overtakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at $2.44 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. After being passed, the cyclist hears a frequency of $1590 \mathrm{~Hz}$. How fast is the ambulance moving?
The frequency of the siren of an ambulance is 900 Hz and is approaching you. You are standing on a corner and observe a frequency of 960 Hz. What is the speed of the ambulance (in $\mathrm{mph}$ ) if the speed of sound is $v=340.00 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ?$
