Car 2 and Car 3 are driving down the road at the same speed. Car 1, going 15 m/s, has just passed Car 2 and is approaching Car 3 when he sees Person A standing in front of him. The driver of Car 1 quickly honks his horn as a warning, but does not brake. At the moment that Car 1 honks his horn, Person B is riding his bicycle, behind, but in the same direction as Car 1 at 7 m/s. Which person hears the highest frequency from the horn?

Answer:

Person A

Step-by-step explanation:

Person A hears the highest frequency from the horn than Person B because Person A is present in front of a Car 1 while the Person B present behind the Car 1. The car horn is present at the front so the Person A will hear the highest frequency from the horn as compared to Person B which hears lower frequency from the horn. If the horn is present at the back side so Person B will hear highest frequency from the horn.
