Question

Chloe is playing the flute some distance away from a crowd. If the atmospheric temperature is 15 Celsius, what is the speed of the sound traveling from the flute?

Answer 1

A. 340 meters/second

Answer 2

Answer:

v = 340 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of light and the temperature follows the following relation as :

$v=331+0.6\ T$.............(1)

It is given that the atmospheric temperature is 15 Celsius. Put the value of T in above equation as :

$v=331+0.6\times 15$

v = 340 m/s

So, the speed of sound travelling from the flute is 340 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
