A stationary whistle emits a sound of 188 Hz. If a car hears the whistle with a frequency of 194 Hz, how fast was it moving (in m/s)? Use 340 m/s for the sound velocity.

For a sationary source like this question:
f ' (detected) = f(original) ( v (sound) + v (detector)) / v (sound)
.'. v = 194/188 * 340 - 340 = 10.85 m/s
f ' (detected) = f(original) ( v (sound) + v (detector)) / v (sound)
.'. v = 194/188 * 340 - 340 = 10.85 m/s
