Question

4. How long would it take sound waves traveling through air that is 68°F to
travel 1,372 meters? Use an equation to solve the problem.

Answer 1

Answer:

2.7 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

[] Temp of air: 68°F -> 20°C

[] Velocity of sound in air:

$v=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{T}{273.15} }$

$v=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{68}{273.15} }$

v ≈ 370.25 m/s

[] Last,

t = $\frac{d}{v}$

t = $\frac{1,372}{370.25}$

t ≈ 3.7056 ≈ 2.7 seconds
