What is the speed of sound in miles per second

"The speed of sound at one atmosphere of pressure is 0.214 miles per second. What is the speed of sound in units of meters per second? (1 km = 0.621 mile)"

Answered by admin @



Answer:

344.6 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of sound, v = 0.214 miles per second

The relation between the unit of distance mile and the unit of distance km is given in the question.

0.621 mile = 1 km

As we know that 1 km  = 1000 m

So, 0.621 mile = 1000 m

1 mile = 1000 / 0.621 m = 1610.3 m

0.214 miles = 1610.3 x 0.214 = 344.6 m

So, the speed of sound in metre per second is 344.6 m/s.
