To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Dopler's Law. Dopler describes the change in frequency of a wave in relation to that of an observer who is in motion relative to the Source of the Wave.
It can be described as
c = Propagation speed of waves in the medium
= Speed of the receiver relative to the medium
= Speed of the source relative to the medium
Frequency emited by the source
The sign depends on whether the receiver or the source approach or move away from each other.
Our values are given by,
Velocity of car
velocity of motor
Velocity of sound
Frequency emited by the source
Replacing we have that
Therefore the frequency that hear the motorcyclist is 601.7Hz
Explanation:
Given that,
Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward.
Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:
is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)
is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy.
Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is
Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be
So, the magnitude is 20 m/s and the direction is westward (negative sign).
