The siren on an ambulance emits a sound of frequency 2.80×103Hz. If the ambulance is traveling at 26.0 m/s (93.6 km/h or 58.2 mi

/h) the speed of sound is 340 m/s and the air is still, what is the frequency that you hear if you are standing in front of the ambulance?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the described wavelength through frequency and speed. Mathematically it can be expressed as:

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength

f = Frequency

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

f = 2.8*10^3Hz

v = 340m/s \rightarrow Speed of sound

Keep in mind that we do not use the travel speed of the ambulance because we are in front of it. In case it approached or moved away we should use the concepts related to the Doppler effect:

Replacing we have,

\lambda = \frac{340}{2.8*10^3}

\lambda = 0.1214m

Therefore the frequency that you hear if you are standing in from of the ambulance is 0.1214m

Normal humans can withstand no more than 9 g's, and even that for only a few seconds. When undergoing an acceleration of 9 g's, your body feels nine times heavier than usual, blood rushes to the feet, and the heart can't pump hard enough to bring this heavier blood to the brain.
