Question

The sound of the explosion is heard 1920 metres away 6.0 seconds after the explosion has happened.

Calculate the speed of sound in this air.

Answer 1

Speed is calculated by dividing distance over time

distance$-1920$ metres

time$-6.0 seconds$

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

$=\frac{1920}{6}$

$=320m/s$
