    When speed of sound is not negligible

    thanx for the reply but i figured out the problem in the end here is what i wrote: The sound is heard after 2.40 seconds and sound travels 336m/s. And we know the acceleration due to gravity is -9.8m/s^2. The distance the rock travels is equal to the distance sound traveled x1=x2. And the time...
