Question

A soldier fires a gun and another boy at a distance of 1020 m hears the sound of firing the gun 33 seconds after seeing its smoke. Find the speed of sound. .

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed of sound is 30.91m/s

Explanation:

Speed is given by:

Speed = distance travelled / time taken

Given:

Distance travelled = 1020m

Time taken = 33seconds

Speed = 1020m/33s

Speed = 30.91m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

$v = 30.91 m/s$  

Explanation:

The speed of the sound can be found using the following equation:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

Where:

v: is the speed

d: is the distance = 1020 m

t: is the time = 33 s

$v = \frac{1020 m}{33 s} = 30.91 m/s$  

Therefore, the speed of the sound is 30.91 m/s.

I hope it helps you!
