Question

I just... I don't know man I suck at physics :(

Answer 1

Explanation:

Sound travels from the tour guide to the other of the canyon and then back, thus hearing the echo. The time of 2.0 s represents the time it takes the sound to make a round trip, therefore it takes 1.0 s for the tour guide's voice to reach the other side of the canyon. At 20°C, the speed of sound is 343 m/s therefore the width of the canyon is

$x = vt = (343\:m/s)(1.0\:s) = 343\:m$

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity is 340, but the distance is not. Here's how you do this:

You need to find out the velocity of the that sound in that temp which has a formula of

v = 331.5 + .606T where T is the temp in Celcius. Filling in and using the correct number of sig dig:

v = 331.5 + .606(20) and

v = 331.5 + 10 and

v = 340 m/s. Now we need to use that in d = vt:

d = 340(2.00) so

d = 680 m
