Answer:
The speed of the sound wave is 332 m/s.
Explanation:
The distance between the person and the gun, d = 664 m
Time taken for the person to hear the gunshot, t = 2 s
Speed is defined as the distance covered in unit time by an object (here the sound wave). Therefore the equation to calculate speed can be written as:
Speed = Distance / time
S = d / t
= 664 / 2
∴ S = 332 m/s
