The observer sees a plane vertically above him and hears it after 1.5 seconds, while the plane enclosed an angle of 35° with the vertical axis. At what speed and at what hight does the plane fly? (The solutions are 1500 km/h; 890 m)
A hunter is standing on flat ground between two vertical cliffs that are directly opposite one another. He is closer to one cliff than the other. He fires a gun and, after a while, hears three echoes. The second echo arrives 1.99 s after the first, and the third echo arrives 1.24 s after the second. Assuming that the speed of sound is 343 m/s and that there are no reflections of sound from the ground, find the distance (in m) between the cliffs.
There was an accident, and NASA engineers are trying to sort out where two of their Mars Rovers, Tango and Foxtrot, have landed. The engineers know that landing site A is much hotter than landing site B. Unfortunately, the only working sensors on Tango and Foxtrot measure the speed of sound. If Tango measures the speed of sound at its landing site as 240 m/s, while Foxtrot measures speed of sound as 258 m/s at its landing site, where has each rover landed?
