Two cars A &B are driving away from each other and sounding their horns. You are the driver of car A which is travelling at a speed of 27.2m/s and you measured the horn of the other car to be sounded at 730HZ, which is travelling at a speed of 24.08m/s. Speed of sound is 335m/s. Calculate the following: A a) Speed of the observer in m/s =
