If a train is 100 kilometers away, how much sooner would you hear the train coming by listening to the rails (iron) as opposed t

o listening for it standing by the track? In other words, how much faster will the sound travel through the iron rails than through the air? Assume the air temperature is 0°C. Sound will reach you seconds sooner.

From tables, the speed of sound at 0°C is approximately
V₁ = 331 m/s (in air)
V₃ = 5130 m/s (in iron)

Distance traveled is
d = 100 km = 10⁵ m

Time required to travel in air is
t₁ = d/V₁ = 10⁵/331 = 302.12 s

Time required to travel in iron is
t₂ = d/V₂ = 10⁵/5130 = 19.49 s

The difference in time is
302.12 - 19.49 = 282.63 s

Answer:  283 s (nearest second)

delivery ladies is Shivam noted at the thundering sound of 6 second after the lightning was seen by him​
vitfil [10]

Answer:

this is due to difference in speeds of sound and light

Explanation:

light has a speed of 3×10^8 m/s and it is seen at once because it takes negligible time due to very high speed and short distance  that is why as soon as lightning occurs we can see it . since thundering sound travels with speed of sound which is about 330  to 340 m/s in air hence it takes some time as described in question as 6 seconds
