Question

if sound travels at 335 miles per second through air and a plane is 2680 miles away how long will the sound take to reach the people

Answer 1

It will take 8 seconds for the sound to reach the people

Here, we want to calculate time

Mathematically;

`\begin{gathered} \text{time = }\frac{dis\tan ce}{\text{speed}} \\ \end{gathered}`

With respect to this question, distance is 2680 miles while speed is 335 miles per second

Substituting these values, we have;

`\text{time = }(2680)/(335)\text{ = 8}`
