Imagine u are hiking along а trail wide, dryr canyon where thec outdoor temperature is T=25° C determine how, far you aret away fom the canyon wall, you yell: Bye" and hear the echo t= 2.45 s later. Then calculate the speed of that sound in m/s if the speed at 0° C is 330 m/s . Then how far are u from the canyon wall in m?
