Answer:

\Delta t = 2.624\,s

Explanation:

Sound is a form of mechanic wave, which needs a medium to propagate itself and has a constant speed. The time needed to hear his echo is:

\Delta t = \frac{900\,m}{343\,\frac{m}{s} }

\Delta t = 2.624\,s

Answer:

2.62seconds

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the ratio of the distance covered by a body with respect to time.

Speed v = Distance (s)/Time (t)

For a traveling sound wave, the distance between the source of a sound and the reflector is '2S'.

Speed v = 2 × distance (S)/Time (T)

V = 2S/t

2S = vt

Given speed of the wave = 342m/s

Distance covered = 450m

t = 2S/v

t = (2×450)/343

t = 900/343

t = 2.62seconds

It will take him 2.62seconds for him to hear his own voice echo off of the wall.

What describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction
Mashcka [7]

Speed is a description of how fast an object moves; velocity is how fast and in what direction it moves. In physics, velocity is speed in a given direction. When we say a car travels at 60 km/h, we are specifying its speed.

Conversion: The weather report this morning stated there is a thick fog in
tangare [24]

Answer: 0.1524 km

Explanation:

We have to convert 500 ft to kilometers, and we can do it knowing 1 ft=0.30 48 m and 1 km=1000 m:

500 ft \frac{0.3048 m}{1 ft} \frac{1 km}{1000 m}

Hence:

500 ft=0.1524 km
