Calculate the speed of the approaching vehicle

Reference no: EM13553160

A student in a parked car honks the horn, which has a 'proper' frequency of 290. Hz. An observer in an approaching vehicle measures the frequency of the sound to be 316 Hz. Calculate the speed of the approaching vehicle. Use 340. m/s as the speed of sound in air.
