Homework Statement
a man dropped a stone into a can that is 120m deep. if the temperature of the air is 20degree celsius. how long would it take for a man to hear the sound when the stone hit the can?
Homework Equations
d=Vi*t + 1/2*a*t^2
The Attempt at a Solution
since i know that the initial velocity is 0.0m/s
i canceled out the part vi*t
and solved for time ----> t= [tex]\sqrt{}2(d)/a[/tex]
which is t= [tex]\sqrt{}2(120m)/9.81m/s^2[/tex]= 7.2s
is this correct.? I am having a doubt on my answer because i didnt use the temperature at all.
