Find the ambulances speed from these observations

Reference no: EM13544064

Standing at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 590 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 499 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations. (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)
