Two trucks travel at the same speed. they are far apart on adjacent lanes and approach each other essentially head-on. one driver hears the horn of the other truck at a frequency that is 1.05 times the frequency he hears when the trucks are stationary. if the speed of sound is 344 m/s, at what speed is each truck moving?

this is how i worked it out but i got it wrong..

f=1.05hertz
1.05*f1=f1 (344+v1) / (344-v1)

(344-v1)*1.05 = (344+v1)
361.2-1.05v1= (344+v1)
361.2-344= 17.2
17.2=1.05v1
16.4m/s

Refrigerant-134a flows through a carnot heat pump cycle at 0.5 kg/s. it is known that the maximum absolute temperature in the cycle is 1.1 times the minimum absolute temperature, and the net power input to the cycle is 2.5 kw. if the refrigerant changes from a saturated vapor to a saturated liquid during the heat rejection process, determine the maximum magnitude of the enthalpy of vaporization for this process in kj/kg (with 3 significant figures).
