QUESTION 18 A driver travels northbound on a highway at a speed of 24.1 m/s. A police car, traveling southbound at a speed of 63.4 m/s, approaches with its siren producing sound at a frequency of 2,297 Hz. What frequency in (Hz) does the driver detect after the police car passes him? (speed of sound v 343 m/s) Note: Answer will be up to two decimal places

During a 4th of July celebration, an M80 firework explodes on the ground, producing a bright flash and a loud bang. The air temperature of the night air is TF=90.00F . Two observers see the flash and hear the bang. The first observer notes the time between the flash and the bang as 1.00 second. The second observer notes the difference as 3.00 seconds. The line of sight between the two observers meet at a right angle as shown below. What is the distance x between the two observers?
A siren mounted 011 the roof of a firehouse emits sound at a frequency of 900 Hz. A steady wind is blowing with a speed of 15.0 m/s. Taking the speed of sound in calm air to be 343 m/s. find the wavelength of the sound (a) upwind of the siren and (b) downwind of the siren. Firefighters are approaching the siren from various directions at 15.0 m/s. What frequency does a firefighter hear (c) if she is approaching from an upwind position so that site is moving in the direction in which the wind is blowing and (d) if she is approaching from a downwind position and moving against the wind?

While chasing the person who released all the ping pong balls, an astronaut is screaming at 694Hz while moving towards the miscreant at 5.2 m/s. The prankster is fleeing, but at only 3.1 m/s. The air on the ISS is kept pretty close to standard pressure and temperature, so the speed of sound is 343 m/s. At what frequency does the prankster hear the yell? Do not actually solve the problem numerically or algebraically, just pick the one equation and define the relevant knowns and single unknown.
