You watch distant Sally Homemaker driving nails into a front porch at a regular rate of 1 stroke per second. You hear the sound of the blows exactly synchronized with the blows you see. And then you hear one more blow after you see the hammering stop.
Calculate the distance of sally from you

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]d = 343 m[/tex]

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of sound in air is given as

[tex]v = 343 m/s[/tex]

now the rate of strike is 1 stroke per second

so distance is given as

[tex]d = v t[/tex]

now we will have

[tex]t = 1 s[/tex]

[tex]d = 343 \times 1[/tex]

so the distance is given as

[tex]d = 343 m[/tex]
