Question

You adjust the temperature so that a sound wave travels more quickly through the air. You increase the temperature from 30 degrees c to 36 degrees c. what is the velocity if the sound wave at this new temperature?

Answer 1

352.6 m/s just took the test

Answer 2

To calculate the velocity of the sound wave, we use this formula:
V = 331 + [0.6*T],
Where V is the velocity and T represents temperature.
When the temperature is 36 degree Celsius, we have
V = 331 + [0.6 * 36]
V = 331 + 21.6 = 352.6
Therefore, V = 352.6 m/s.
