If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.67 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. 273.73 X You appear to have correctly calculated the distance the rock travels, but you have then used the wrong time to calculate the horizontal speed. m/s (b) What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer player to hear the sound of the splash 2.67 s after kicking the rock? m/sarrow_forward3arrow_forwardA golfer hits his approach shot at an angle of 50.0, giving the ball an initial speed of 38.2 m/s (Fig. P4.60).
