Propagation 81568
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 shot.

- 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, - The shooter
The shooter heard the bullet's impact on the target one second after the shot. The bullet was moving at an average speed of 500 m/s. Calculate with the speed of sound of 340 m/s. Determine the distance of the target. - Abyss
The stone fell into the abyss: 2 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 = 343 m/s)
- Lightning 69734
The sound travels at a speed of 1km in 3 seconds. If the thunder is heard 12 seconds after the lightning, what distance is the storm? - 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. - Ballistic curve
The soldier fired the ballistic grenade at a 45° angle. The first half ascended, and the second fell. How far and height it reached if his average speed was 1200 km/h, and 12 seconds took from the shot to impact. - Lightning strike
In a thunderstorm, the formula M=t/5.3 gives the approximate distance, M, in miles, from a lightning strike if it takes t second to hear the thunder after seeing the lightning. If you are 5.4 miles away from the lightning flash, how long will it take the - Dependence 2927
Sound travels in the air at a speed of about 330 m/s. Make a table of the dependence between the time (after one second), and the sound's distance travels during this time. During a storm, you can easily find out how far you are from it.
- Speed of sound
The average speed of sound is 330 meters per second. Estimate how long it will take to hear the church bell 1 km away. Calculate the distance from what would hear sound after 10 seconds. - Dependence 5997
Sound travels in the air at a speed of 330 m/s. Build a table of the dependence of the distance that the sound travels in a given time (for 1 to 10s, one second at a time). Write the equation of the relevant dependence. - 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 vibration of the soil at the measuring point - Doppler effect
The observer moves away from the source at a speed of 12 m/s. The source produces sound with a frequency of f=475 Hz. What is f2 (frequency of sound perceived by the observer)? v= 340 m/s. - Propagation 81955
A plane flying at 612 km/h speed sent a sound signal. In front of the aircraft (in the direction of flight), there is a fixed object at a distance of 3 km, from which the sound is reflected back to the plane. How long will it take the pilot to hear the ec
