Answer:
The speed of sound, in m/s, through air at this temperature is 343.5 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
distance traveled by sound, d = 1,687.5 meters
time taken for the sound to travel, t = 5 seconds
air temperature, θ = 10°C
Speed of sound = distance traveled by sound / time taken for the sound to travel
Speed of sound = d / t
= 1687.5 m / 5 s
= 337.5 m/s
Speed of sound at the given temperature is calculated as;
c = 337.5 + 0.6θ
c = 337.5 + 0.6 x 10
c = 337.5 + 6
c = 343.5 m/s
Therefore, the speed of sound, in m/s, through air at this temperature is 343.5 m/s
