Answer:

Speed of sound ways in railroad = 6,135.8 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance cover by sound wave = 2,350 meter

Time taken by sound wave to cover distance = 0.383 seconds

Find:

Speed of sound ways in railroad

Computation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed of sound ways in railroad = Distance cover by sound wave / Time taken by sound wave to cover distance

Speed of sound ways in railroad = 2,350 / 0.383

Speed of sound ways in railroad = 6,135.77

Speed of sound ways in railroad = 6,135.8 m/s
