when the temperature is 68 degrees F, the speed of sound in the air is approximately 343 meters per second. Approximately how many kilometers does sound travel in five seconds
(343 * 5) / 1000 = ?
1000 meters make one kilometers and u do need to times it by five so....343 meters=____kilomelers then what you get in the ___ you times it by five...that's all I know of sorry
the answer is 1.715
Sage is correct. I got this question correct.
To calculate the distance sound travels in a given time, you can multiply the speed of sound by the duration. Here's how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Convert the speed of sound from meters per second (m/s) to kilometers per second (km/s).
- Divide the speed of sound (343 m/s) by 1000 to convert it to kilometers per second.
- 343 m/s ÷ 1000 = 0.343 km/s
Step 2: Multiply the speed of sound in kilometers per second by the duration in seconds (5 seconds in this case) to find the distance traveled.
- 0.343 km/s × 5 s = 1.715 km
Therefore, when the temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit, sound will travel approximately 1.715 kilometers in five seconds.
