Question

the distance between a boy and a hill is 250 meters. if the boy shouts after how long will the echo be heard numerical problem​

Answer 1

1.47 s

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

s = 2d/t................... Equation 1

s = speed of sound in air, d = distance between the boy and the hill, t = time to hear the echo.

make t the subject of the equation

t = 2d/s............... Equation 2

Given: d = 250 meters

Constant: s = 340 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = (2×250)/340

t = 500/340

t = 1.47 s
