Sound Travel and Distance Calculations

The video tutorial explains how sound travels at 750 miles per hour and how to calculate the distance to a canyon wall using the time it takes to hear an echo. It covers unit conversion from miles per hour to feet per second and demonstrates how to calculate the distance using the formula distance equals rate times time. Additionally, it explains how to determine the time it takes to hear an echo when standing a specific distance from the canyon wall.

What is the speed of sound in miles per hour as mentioned in the video?

• 500 miles per hour

• 750 miles per hour

• 1000 miles per hour

• 1250 miles per hour

What is the first step in converting miles per hour to feet per second?

• Convert miles to feet

• Convert feet to inches

• Convert miles to kilometers

• Convert hours to seconds

How many feet are there in one mile?

• 5500 feet

• 6000 feet

• 5000 feet

• 5280 feet

What is the speed of sound in feet per second after conversion?

• 1000 feet per second

• 1100 feet per second

• 1300 feet per second

• 1200 feet per second

How long does it take for sound to travel to the canyon wall and back if the total time is 3.5 seconds?

• 1.75 seconds

• 1.5 seconds

• 2 seconds

• 2.5 seconds

What is the formula used to calculate the distance to the canyon wall?

• Distance = Speed + Time

• Distance = Time / Speed

• Distance = Speed / Time

• Distance = Speed x Time

If you stand 1375 feet from the canyon wall, how far does the sound travel in total?

• 1500 feet

• 3000 feet

• 2750 feet

• 1375 feet

What is the time taken to hear the echo if you stand 1375 feet from the canyon wall?

• 2 seconds

• 2.5 seconds

• 3 seconds

• 3.5 seconds

What is the total distance sound travels if you stand 1375 feet from the canyon wall?

• 1375 feet

• 4125 feet

• 5500 feet

• 2750 feet

How do you solve for time in the equation Distance = Rate x Time?

• Subtract Rate from both sides

• Add Rate to both sides

• Divide both sides by Rate

• Multiply both sides by Rate
