Answer:
44.4 m/s
Explanation:
d = 80 m, t = 1.8 s, find v
d = v*t
v = d/t = 80/1.8 = 44.4 m/s
Answer:
300 m/s
Explanation:
The difference in time between the two bangs is 1 s.
Thus;
t2 - t1 = 1
We know that distance/time = speed.
Thus;
d2/v - d1/v = 1
Multiply through by v to get;
d2 - d1 = v
Where v is speed of sound in air.
d1 = 350 m
d2 = (150 × 2) + 350 = 650 m
Thus;
v = d2 - d1 = 650 - 350 = 300 m/s
The formula for velocity is distance divided by time, or d/t. The distance is 500 km and the time is 1.2 hours. 500/1.2 is 416.6 km/hr.
