17.7 Exercise 14

Avg difficulty 2.5

An ambulance with a siren (f=1.00kHz)\left(f = 1.00 \text{kHz}\right) blaring is approaching an accident scene. The ambulance is moving at 70.00 mph. A nurse is approaching the scene from the opposite direction, running at vo=7.00m/s.v_{o} = 7.00 \text{m}/\text{s} . What frequency does the nurse observe? Assume the speed of sound is v=343.00m/s.v = 343.00 \text{m}/\text{s} .
