Trying to determine its depth, a rock climber drops a pebble into a chasm and hears the pebble strike the ground 3.32 s later.

(a) If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s at the rock climber's location, what is the depth of the chasm?

(b) What is the percentage of error that would result from assuming the speed of sound is infinite?

A man drops a rock into a well. (a) The man hears the sound of the splash 2.96 s after he releases the rock from rest. The speed of sound in air (at the ambient temperature) is 336 m/s. How far below the top of the well is the surface of the water? m (b) If the travel time for the sound is ignored, what percentage error is introduced when the depth of the well is calculated? %

A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 37 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.92 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. B What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock...
