Need help 10 points for first best answer!!!?

Question

What is the approx. distance to a cliff if a student yells "Hello" and it takes 0.860s for the student to hear it and if the speed of sound is 350 m/s what is the distance of the student to the cliff???

I don't know if that made sense but yeah

thanks in advance :D

Answer 1

divided by 2

Answer 2

301 meters

350m/s x .860s=301 meters

Answer 3

There is an error in your question. The speed of sound is 344 m/s (1232 km/h, or 770 mph, or 1130 ft/s).

Answer 4

150.5 meters

Answer 5

ummmm wouldn't it just be

350 x .86 = 301??

301 Metres

Answer 6

The sound travels twice the distance as the cliff is away, sound, of course, travels there and back

the equation you are looking for is:

d = v*t

where d is the distance traveled, v is the velocity, and t is the time it took to travel.

Plug the values v = 350

t = 0.860

And remember the d you calculate will be twice the distance as the cliff so divide that d by 2 to get your answer.
