Question 4 (1 point)

How far does a sound wave travel in 3 seconds if the air temperature is 30 degrees
Celsius?

a) 114.33 m
b) 1047 m
c) 1029 m
d) 116.33 m

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

v=349m/s

d=vt

d=349*3

d=1047m

WHY 349??

Because, velocity of sound increases about 0.6 m/s for every 1 degree celsius rise in temp.

Velocity of sound is about 343 m/s at 20 degrees C, so 0.6*10=6 more m/s, or 349 m/s. Kinda cool how temperature alters the speed of sound!
