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 - 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? - 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, - 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 - Speed of sound

A sound source emits a tone with an absolute pitch of 500 Hz and moves towards the observer at a speed of 5 m/s. Sound travels at a speed of 340 m/s. How fast is an observer moving who hears a tone with an absolute pitch of 522 Hz? - 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)
