Question

An observer sitting in the lines of the tanks, watches the
flashes of two tanks firing at each other at the same time He hears
the sounds of the two shots 2s and 3 5s after seeing the flashes If
the distance between the two tanks is 510m, find the speed of
sound

Kranav Sharma · Accepted Answer

The time difference between the two tanks is 3 5 - 2 s = 1 5 s
(or the sound tanks this much tie to travel between the tanks)
the distance between the two tanks is = 510 m
so, the speed of sound would be
s = distance / time
or
s = 510 / 1 5 m/s
thus,
s = 340 m/s
