Question

3. Suppose you are 3.3 km away from rifle range where someone is

practicing shooting. How long would it take you to hear the sound of a

shot fired by him? (Speed of sound 344m/s) please please answer as soon as possible otherwise i am dead dead by my teacher

Answer 1

Speed and Distance

Hence, it will take 9.593 seconds to hear the sound of the shot

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that person is 3.3 km away from rifle range where someone is

practicing shooting

So, distance =3.3 km = 3300 m

Speed of sound is given as 344 m/s

`Speed = (Distance)/(Time)`

Thus
`Time = (Distance)/(Speed)`

Time =
`(3300)/(344)` = 9.593 seconds

Hence, it will take 9.593 seconds to hear the sound of the shot
