Question

Explain the solution
1. The speed (v) at which sound travels through air is dependent upon the temperature of the air and seems to follow the
equation v= 331 m/s + 0.6 m/s/°C * T where T is the Celsius temperature of the air. Determine the speed of sound
A. on a cold day when the outdoor temperature is 4°C.
B. inside the school where the temperature is 24°C.
C. a warm day when the outdoor temperature is 38°C.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed (v) at which sound travels through air is dependent upon the temperature of the air and seems to follow the equation v = 331 m/s + 0.6 m/s/°C * T where T is the Celsius temperature of the air

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer of A, B and C is 333.4 m/s, 345.4 m/s and 353.8 m/s respectively

Explanation:

The speed (v) at which sound travels through air is dependent on velocity which is given by $v=331 m/s + 0.6T m/s/C$.

• Speed of sound when T=4°C,$v=331+0.6*4=333.4 m/s$

on a cold day speed of sound is 333.4 m/s

• When T=24°C, $v= 331+0.6*24=345.4$, inside the school the speed of sound is 345.4 m/s
• When T=38°C, $v=331+0.6*38=353.8 m/s$, in a warm day the speed of sound is 353.8 m/s.
