A friend of yours is loudly singing a single note at 412 Hz while racing toward you at 25.8 m/s on a day when the speed of sound is 347 m/s . What frequency do you hear?

5541Hz

Explanation:

If the frequency of a wave is directly proportional to the velocity we have;

F = kV where;

F is the frequency

K is the constant of proportionality

V is the velocity

Since f = kV

K = f/v

K = F1/V1 = F2/V2

Given f1 = 412Hz v1 = 25.8m/s f2 = ? V2 = 347m/s

Substituting in the formula we have;

412/25.8=f2/347

Cross multiplying

25.8f2 = 412×347

F2 = 412×347/25.8

F2 = 5541Hz

The frequency heard will be 5541Hz

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.
