Answer:
64.945 miles per hour
Explanation:
Since the frequency of sound heard is higher than actual frequency, the ambulance is moving towards you!
The frequency of sound waves as heard from a distance for a sound wave coming towards one at v₀ m/s and whose real frequency is f₀ is given by
+f = f₀/[1 - (v₀/v)]
+f = frequency of sound as heard from the distance away = 8.61 KHz
f₀ = real frequency of sound = 7.87 KHz
v₀ = velocity at which the sound source is moving towards the reference point = ?
v = velocity of sound waves = 343 m/s
8.61 = 7.87/(1 - (v₀/v))
1 - (v₀/343) = 0.9141
v₀/343 = 1 - 0.9141 = 0.0859
v₀ = 343 × 0.0859 = 29.48 m/s = 64.945 miles per hour
The only statement that makes sense as to which one describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field is the first one - <span>Southern lights are seen at high altitude places like Alaska.
Normally, Southern lights are seen around the South Pole, which means that it is quite odd for them to be seen in Alaska, which is near the North Pole.</span>
