Answer 2

A person standing at a distance x in front of a cliff fires a gun. Another person B standing behind the person A at distance y from the cliff hears two sounds of the fired shot after 2s and 3s respectively. Calculate x and y ( take speed of sound 320 ms^ -1)

A person standing at a distance x in front of a cliff fires a gun .

Person B standing behind the person A at distance y from the cliff hears two sounds of the fired shot after 2s and 3s respectively .

Find x & y

[Speed of sound 320 ms^ -1 ]

______________________________

Formula used :-

s = d / t

___________________________

Got 2 Equation :

y-x = 640 --------> 1

y+x = 460 --------> 2

Now adding 1 and 2

=> 2y = 1600

=> y = 300 m

x = 160 m
