Sound waves. A ship using sound-sensing devices above and below water recorded a surface explosion 6 seconds sooner by its underwater device than its above-water device. Sound travels in air at 1 , 100 feet per second and in seawater at 5 , 000 feet per second. How long did it take each sound wave to reach the ship? How far was the explosion from the ship?
