A group of hikers hear an echo 3.3 s after they shout. The temperature is 20◦C.
How far away is the mountain that reflected the sound wave? At this altitude, the speed of sound in air at 273 K is 327 m/s.
Answer in units of m.

560 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound in air is approximately:

v ≈ v₀ + 0.6T

where v₀ is the speed of sound at 0°C (273 K) in m/s, and T is the temperature in Celsius.

The speed of sound at 20°C at that altitude is:

v ≈ 327 + 0.6(20)

v ≈ 339 m/s

The sound travels from the hikers to the mountain and back again, so it travels twice the distance.

339 m/s = 2d / 3.3 s

2d = 1118.7 m

d = 559.35 m

Rounding, the mountain is approximately 560 m away.

the entire statement is true and correct.  

there's no diagram, nothing is illustrated, and no question is asked.

when heated, the valance electrons increased their speed and transferred the heat from electron to electron.   i just took the test.
