How far does light travel in the time it takes sound to travel 1 cm in air at 20°c?

The speed of sound at 20^{\circ}C is approximately v=343 m/s. The distance covered by the sound wave is
s=1 cm=0.01 m
And the time it takes is
t= \frac{S}{v}= \frac{0.01 m}{343 m/s}=2.9 \cdot 10^{-5} s

Now we want to find how far the light travels during this time. Light travels at speed c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s, therefore the distance it covers during this time is
S=ct = (3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)(2.9 \cdot 10^{-5} s)=8700 m

Help! PROJECTILE PROBLEM: A 7500-kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.25
dsp73
Here, 

height at failure, h1 = 525 m, 
upward acceleration, a = 2.25 m/s^2, 
velocity = v m/s, 
<span>
SO, </span>
<span>
v^2 = 2*a*h = 2*2.25*525 = 2362.5 </span>
Now, acceleration, g = 9.8 m/s^2, 
<span>
SO, </span>
<span>
heigt, h1 = v^2/2g = 2362.5 / 2*9.8 = 120.54 meters </span>
Hence, 
<span>
a) </span>
Total height = 525+120.54 = 645.54 meters 

b) 
<span>time, for h1, t = v/g = sqrt(2362.5)/9.8 = 4.96 sec
