Answer:
Explanation:
Speed is defined as the rate at which an object covers a particular distance. So the formula for determining speed is given as the ratio of distance to time taken for covering that distance.
Speed = Distance/Time
As here the distance is given in km units and time in s units, so the units of any one parameter should be changed. Since we know that speed of sound is always about 300 m/s. So it is better to convert the unit of distance from km to m.
Hence, now the distance traveled by the noise is 2000 m and time taken is 5.8 s.
So the speed of noise = Distance/Time = 2000/5.8=345 m/s.
Thus, the speed of noise is slightly greater than the speed of sound and it is found to be 345 m/s.
