Question

What is the speed of sound for a noise that travels 2 km in 5.8 s? There's answers for this already but they are two different ones.

Answer 1

344.8m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Given that distance = 2km

Time = 5.8s

1 km = 1000m

2 km = 2000m

Speed = 2000/5.8

Speed = 344.827m/s

= 344.8m/s

Hence the speed of the of sound of the noise is 344.8m/s
