How far do sound waves travel in 1.00 × 10^-3 s in air at 20°C? A. 3.43 × 10^-3 m B. 3.43 × 10^-2 m C. 3.43 × 10^-1 m D. 3.43 × 10^1 m **Not sure :( thank you!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have to compute this: \[\Large d = vt = 343 \times {10^{ - 3}} = ...meters\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

since the speed of the sound in air at 20°C is about 343 m/sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay!! so we get 0.343 ? so is choice A our solution?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please wait, it is: 0.343 ok! so it is option C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh right!! it is positive!! so C it is!! :D thank you!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
