Question
Ruthvik and Ruha hear a gunshot 2 second after it is fired. How far away from the gun they are standing? (Speed of sound in air is equal to 330ms-1)
Solution
Given data: time t = 2s
Speed of sound V = 330 ms-1
To find: Distanced =?
Formula: Distance = Speed x time
Distance d = 330 x 2 = 660 m
