1.How many meters away is a cliff if heard one half second after the original sound? Assume that sound travels at 343m/s on that day
Are you talking about an echo or a sound that is emitted somewhere near the cliff? I think you left some words out of your question.
In 1/2 seconds, the sound travels 171.5 meters.
85.75m
To find the distance to the cliff, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
Given that the speed of sound is 343 m/s and the time difference is one-half second, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Distance = 343 m/s × 0.5 s
Now, calculating the value:
Distance = 171.5 m
Therefore, the cliff is approximately 171.5 meters away if the sound is heard one half second after the original sound.
