Use the concept of beat frequency to find the applicable final freqeuncy for 20Hz beat frequency.
Beat can be defined as 'the interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies0
The expression for beat frequency is given as

Where,
Final frequency
Initial frequency
The beat frequency for us is 25Hz and the initial frequency is 240Hz, then

Being an absolute value, two values are possible, both in addition and subtraction:

The two possible values are


The average speed of the whole travel is equal to <u>400 mph</u>.
Why?
From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).
We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:

Now, substituting and calculating, we have:


Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.
Have a nice day!
The horizontal velocity was constant, so:



it traveled 90meters
A) gases particles are far apart
