Answer:

The frequency heard by the motorist is 4313.2 Hz.

Explanation:

let f1 be the frequency emited by the police car and f2 be the frequency heard by the motorist, let v1 be the speed of the police car and v2 be the speed of the motorist and v = 343 m/s be the speed of sound.

because the police car is moving towards the motorist at a higher speed, then the motorist will hear a increasing frequency and according to Dopper effect, that frequency is given by:

f1 =  [(v + v2/(v - v1))]×(f2)

   = [( 343 + 30)/(343 - 36)]×(3550)

   = 4313.2 Hz

Therefore, the frequency heard by the motorist is 4313.2 Hz.

I am trying to find the magnitude of a resultant vector. Do i take inconsideration the negatives when i find the x & y compo
attashe74 [19]
Absolutely !  If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other.  Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war. 
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.
