Question

9) Imagine that the speed of sound in air at a certain temperature is 343 m/s. If a siren from the firehouse

takes 0.200 seconds to arrive at your school, how far is your school from the firehouse?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed of sound in air at a certain temperature is 343 m/s, and it takes 0.200 seconds for the siren to arrive at your school, we can use the formula distance = speed * time to find the distance from the firehouse to your school:

distance = speed * time

distance = 343 m/s * 0.200 s

distance = 68.6 m

So the school is 68.6 meters away from the firehouse.
