Question

Sound travels about 340 m/s. The function d(t)= 340t gives the distance d(t), in meters, that sound travels in t seconds. How far does sound travel in 36 s?

Answer 1

The distance traveled in 36s is 12440 m

Explanation:

Given;

speed of sound, v = 340 m/s

distance traveled by the sound, d(t) = 340t

time of travel, t = 36 s

Distance is given as;

distance = speed x time

d(t) = 340t

d(36) = 340(36)

d = 12440 m

Therefore, the distance traveled in 36s is 12440 m
