The accepted value for the speed of sound in dry air is 331.50 m/s at 0 °C. This speed increases by 0.607 m/s for each additional °C. Compute the accepted value for the speed of sound in air at a room temperature of 27 °C, also known as 300 K because T = 273.15 + t ( Here t is in degree Celsius).
You are on a boat in a fog and know there are cliffs ahead of you somewhere, but you cannot see them. You use your fog horn to send out a blast of sound (assume the temperature of the air is 20 oC) and the time it takes for the sound to return to you is 20.0 s. How far away are the cliffs (in metric units)? Hint: Be careful and think about the physics of the problem. You may want to make a sketch of the situation to help you determine the answer. 1798 m 3444 m 3596 m 7192 m
