When the temperature is 68°F, the speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second. Approximately how many kilometers does sound travel in five seconds?
To find the distance traveled by sound in 5 seconds, we need to use the formula:
Distance = Speed * Time
First, let's convert the speed of sound from meters per second to kilometers per second
343 meters per second = 0.343 kilometers per second
Now we can substitute the values in the formula:
Distance = 0.343 km/s * 5 s
Distance = 1.715 kilometers
Therefore, sound travels approximately 1.715 kilometers in 5 seconds when the temperature is 68°F.
impatient much?
Once is enough, thank you.
