two buildings are 3.3km apart. a gun is fired from one building. the difference between the seeing the flash of gun and it's sound is 10s. find the speed of sound in air
Now, as the difference bewteen the flash and sound is 10 seconds, the time taken by the sound to travel to the other building will be = 10 seconds.
now, distance = 3.3km = 3300m
so, speed of sound = distance / time = 3300/10
thus,
v = 330 m/s
