Problem

A student stands 120 m in front of a cliff and produces a sharp clap. The table shows measured values for the speed of sound in air at two temperatures: Temperature (°C) 5 25 Speed (m/s) 334 346 What is the difference between the round-trip travel times (clap to cliff and back) on the two days? (a) 0.050 s0.050\ \text{s} (b) 0.012 s0.012\ \text{s} (c) 0.025 s0.025\ \text{s} (d) 0.35 s0.35\ \text{s}
