Answer

381.34 Hz

Work Step by Step

Here we use the equation $f^{'}=(\frac{f}{1\space \pm u/V })$ where, $f^{'}$ - shifted frequency, f - original frequency, u - speed of the car, V - speed of the sound wave in the air. $f^{'}=(\frac{f}{1\space \pm u/V })$ We'll use the minus sign because the source is approaching. $f^{'}=(\frac{f}{1\space -u/V })$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $f^{'}=(\frac{352\space s^{-1}}{1\space -(\frac{95km}{h})(\frac{1000m}{km})(\frac{h}{3600s})/343m/s })$ $f^{'}=381.34\space Hz$
