Chapter 17, Problem 056 An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at 1440 Hz overtakes...
An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at 1700 Hz overtakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at 2.44 m/s. After being passed, the cyclist hears a frequency of 1680 Hz. How fast is the ambulance moving? (Use 343 m/s for the speed of sound in air.)
The siren on an ambulance is emitting a sound whose frequency is 2850 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. (a) If the ambulance is stationary and you (the "observer") are sitting in a parked car, what are the wavelength and the frequency of the sound you hear? (b) Suppose that the ambulance is moving toward you at a speed of 26.6 m/s. Determine the wavelength and the frequency of the sound you hear. (c) If the ambulance is...
Standing at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 510 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 433 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations. (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)
2006) Problem 4: A student knows that an ambulance siren has a frequency of,, 396 Hz. He measures, when the ambulance is approaching him, the frequency fo 417 Hz.
