Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 17P
The grandstand at the Kennedy Space Center is located 3.5 mi away from the Space Shuttle Launch Pad. On a day when the air temperature is 80°F, how long does it take the sound from a blastoff to reach the spectators? If the launch was early on a winter morning, the temperature may be as low as 50°F. How long would the sound take to reach the spectators under those conditions?
