Answer:
v = 340 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
A herdsman yelling out to a fellow herdsman heard his voice reflected by a cliff 4s later.
The cliff is 680 m away
We need to find the velocity of sound in air.
Velocity = distance/time
Distance = 2 × 680 = 1360 m
[tex]v=\dfrac{1360\ m}{4\ s}\\\\=340\ m/s[/tex]
So, the velocity of sound in air is 340 m/s.
