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.
