A dog barks in a park and hears its echo after 0.5 seconds. If the sound of its bark got reflected by a nearby building, then the distance between the dog and the building is (assume the sound of speed in air is 346 m/s)
AnswerClick to flip back
A
86.50 m
💡 Explanation:
2d = v x t, where d is the distance to be calculated, v is the speed of sound and t is the time taken to hear the echo
2d = 346 x 0.5
d = 346 x 0.5/2 = 86.50 m
The correct answer is option (1).
