Two cars moving with the same speed are approaching each other from opposite directions. The driver of one of the car blows his horn, which emits sound with the frequency of 400 Hz. The driver in the other car hears the frequency of 450 Hz. What is the speed of the cars if the speed of sound is 340 m/s?
