- Homework Statement
- A baseball is hit 50 meters. The sound of the ball hitting the ground is heard 6 seconds later. How long did it take for the ball to hit the ground
- Relevant Equations
- Δd = (Vo + Vf)/2 * t
So I figured that to find how long did the ball take to hit the ground I would have to subtract 6 with the time it took the sound to reach back to the player.
My givens are
Velocity Intial = 330 m/s, speed of sound
Δd = 50m
Velocity Final = 0m/s because sound stops when it reaches the ear?? confused about this one
What I need to find is the time
Δd = (Vo + Vf)/2 * t
50 = 330/2 * t
50 = 165* t
t = 0.303 -- Time it takes to get back to the ear
6 - 0.303 = 5.7
The answer on the back is 5.805
How can I find a solution to this problem, thank you for reading
