Answer: 26.84 m/s
Explanation:
Given
Original frequency of the horn [tex]f_o=228\ Hz[/tex]
Apparent frequency [tex]f'=246\ Hz[/tex]
Speed of sound is [tex]V=340\ m/s[/tex]
Doppler frequency is
[tex]\Rightarrow f'=f_o\left(\dfrac{v+v_o}{v-v_s}\right)[/tex]
Where,
[tex]v_o=\text{Velocity of the observer}\\v_s=\text{Velocity of the source}[/tex]
Insert values
[tex]\Rightarrow 246=228\left[\dfrac{340+v_o}{340-0}\right]\\\\\Rightarrow 366.84=340+v_o\\\Rightarrow v_o=26.8\ m/s[/tex]
Thus, the speed of the car is [tex]26.84\ m/s[/tex]
