Power is the rate at which work is done. ... Great power means a large amount of work or energy developed in a short time. For example, when a powerful car accelerates rapidly, it does a large amount of work and consumes a large amount of fuel in a short time.
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.
