1

A sound pulse travels 660 m in 2 s in air. What is the speed of sound?

2

A thunder sound is heard 2.5 s after lightning is seen. If the speed of sound is 330 m/s, how far away is the lightning?

3

An echo is heard after 0.1 s. If sound travels at 330 m/s in air, what is the one-way distance to the reflecting surface?

4

Sound takes 0.1 s to travel to a wall and return as an echo. If the wall is 16.5 m away, what is the speed of sound?

A sound travels 1500 m in water in 1 s. How many times faster is sound in water than in air if sound in air is 330 m/s?

Show answer

About 4.5 times

Speed in water = 1500 m/s and in air = 330 m/s. The ratio is 1500/330 ≈ 4.5. So sound is about 4.5 times faster in water.

Sound travels 5960 m in steel in 1 s and 330 m in air in 1 s. How much farther does sound travel in steel than in air in the same 1 s?

Show answer

5630 m

Subtract the distances covered in 1 s. 5960 m - 330 m = 5630 m.

A clock pendulum makes 1 vibration in 2 s. How many vibrations does it make in 10 s, and what is its frequency?

Show answer

5 vibrations, 0.5 Hz

If 1 vibration takes 2 s, then in 10 s the number of vibrations is 10/2 = 5. Frequency is 5/10 = 0.5 Hz.

4multiple choice

A vibrating body completes 12 vibrations in 3 s. What is its frequency?

Show answer

4 Hz

Frequency = number of vibrations per second. So f = 12/3 = 4 Hz.
