a) The formula for dependence of sound velocity on temperature is -
[T is measured in degree centigrade]
So putting the value T=26, we get V= 346.6 m/s
b) The normal frequency of Mustang is 795 Hz and it appears 760 Hz(appears less) to you. The formula for doppler shift is -
[where f is the observed frequency and is the actual frequency and is velocity of the sound source (here it is Mustang)]
Putting f=760 Hz and = 795 Hz and V=346.6 m/s,
We get = 15.96 m/s. So the velocity of the Mustang relative to you is 15.96 m/s.
c) As the frequency appears lesser to you, the Mustang is driving away from you.
d) Now, as the frequency appears lower than normal you are driving away from the Mustang. The formula for doppler shift is -
[where is the velocity of observer and the rest symbols bear the same meaning as earlier. ]
Putting = 20 m/s , V= 346.6 m/s and = 795 Hz, we get f=749.13 m/s.
e) As you are sitting in the car and the velocity of the car is 20 m/s, you are also going with a velocity of 20 m/s. So relative velocity of you w.r.t the car is zero. So the frequency will be the same(795 Hz) for you

1. You're driving your new Tesla convertible and can clearly hear other cars driving nearby. One of these cars honks their horn and your car, with its fancy apps and sensors, displays the horn sound as 760Hz. Your Tesla also registers the car as a Ferrari with a car horn of 795Hz. You are stopped at a stop light when their horn blares. Another of your Tesla's apps measures the air temperature to be 26°C. a) What is the speed...
You are driving at a velocity of 95 MPH (42.5 m/s) when you hear a police siren behind you. From your previous run-ins with the law, you know that at a particular point in the sound, the police sirens on the police cars in your town emit a frequency of 751.255 Hz. You hear the sound at a frequency of 752.551 Hz. How fast the the police car going (in m/s)? (Assume that the speed of sound is 343 m/s.)

Can Technology Save Sears? Sears, Roebuck used to be the largest retailer in the United States, with sales representing 1 to 2 percent of the U.S. gross national product for almost 40 years after World War II. Since then, Sears has steadily lost ground to discounters such as Walmart and Target and to competitively priced specialty retailers such as Home Depot and Lowe’s. Even the merger with Kmart in 2005 to create Sears Holding Company failed to stop the downward...
