Answer:
A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.
Explanation:
- The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
- Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
- In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
- So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.
v^2 = v0^2 +2ad
v^2 = 22^2 + 2*3.78*45 = 824.2
v= √824.2 = 28.7 m/s
Its very dense. Hey, are you homeschooled?
