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:

343m

Explanation:

From the question Sally hits one blow every second

However, the sound is delayed by that same amount of time (1 sec)

If the speed of sound is 343m/s

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 343m/s

Time = 1s

Distance = Speed x Time

= 343 x 1 = 343m
