Answer:

The frequency of the siren in the police car is 1270.45 Hz

Explanation:

Here we have

f_d = f\frac{v-v_r}{v-v_s}

f = f_d\frac{v-v_s}{v-v_r} = 1310\frac{v-44.2}{v-35}  

f(v-35) = 1310(v-44.2)

fv -35f = 1310v - 57902....(1)

Also

f_d = f\frac{v+v_r}{v+v_s}

f = f_d\frac{v+v_s}{v+v_r}

f = f_d\frac{v+44.2}{v+35}

f(v + 35) = 1240(v + 44.2)

fv + 35f = 1240v + 54808.....(2)

Subtracting (1) from (2) gives

70f = 112710 -70v

Therefore f = 1610.143 -v

Substituting the value of f in (1) we get

(1610.143 -v)v -35(1610.143 -v) = 1310·v - 57902

Which gives

v²-335.143·v-1546 =0

Factorizing gives

(v + 4.554)(v - 339.697) =0

Therefore, since v is the velocity of sound, we have v = 339.697 m/s

Since our f = 1610.143 -v

f = 1610.143 -339.697 = 1270.45 Hz
