Question

The speed of sound in water is measured to be 1485 m/s. what is this in mph?

Answer 1

it will bw ugh 3500mph in 

Answer 2

v = 3321.85 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalences :

1 mile = 1609.34 m

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Data

v= 1485 m/s : speed of sound in water

Problem Development

To calculate the speed of sound in mph (mile / hour), we multiply by the conversion factors using the equivalences:

`v= (1485 (m)/(s) )*((1mile)/(1609.34 m) )*((3600s)/(hour))`

We cancel the units in seconds (s) and meters (m) to get the answer in miles per hour (miles / hour or mph)

`v=(1485*3600)/(1609.34) (mile)/(hour)`

v= 3321.85 mile/hour

v = 3321.85 mph
