* You are standing on the rim of a canyon. You drop a rock and in 7.0 s hear the sound of it hitting the bottom. How deep is the canyon? What assumptions did you make? Examine how each assumption affects the answer. Does it lead to a larger or smaller depth than the calculated depth? (The speed of sound in air is about 340 m/s.)
