Sound speed in Earth
Through the surface layers of the Earth, sound propagates 13 times faster than through air. The charge exploded 1.7 km from the measuring station during the geological survey. How long does it take between the measuring point's soil vibration and the moment an explosion is heard? Speed of sound in air v2 = 340 m/s.

- Abyss
The stone fell into the abyss: 11 seconds after we heard it hit bottom. How deep is the abyss (neglecting air resistance)? (gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s² and the speed of sound in air v = 336 m/s) - A boy 2
A boy dropped a coin from the top of the dry well and heard a sound 6 seconds later. Considering this as a free-fall object, how deep is the well? The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 m/s. - Cannon sound speed
A cannon fired at a distance of 2720 m from the observer. The sound of the shot was heard by the observer 8 seconds after the flash. Calculate the speed of sound propagation in the air if we assume that the observer saw the flash at the same time as the s - Thunder and lightning
There was a glimpse of the sky, and we heard thunder in 4.5 seconds. The light spreads at 300,000 kilometers per second, so we can assume the flash instantly without delay. However, the sound's speed is much lower in the air, one-third of a kilometer per - Train speed
The troop fired two guns from the same place at 10 minutes and 30 seconds intervals, but a person on a train approaching the place heard a second shot 10 minutes after the first. The speed of the train (in km/hr), supposing that sound travels at 340 m/s, - Airplane wing pressure
