Question

A person fires an arrow at 46.9 m/s at a nearby target some distance away. The sound of the arrow striking the target returns to the person at a rate of 321.8 m/s. If the total elapsed time between the release of the arrow and the person hearing the thud of the arrow is 2.24 seconds, what is the distance between the person and the target in meters?

Answer 1

Help a homie out guys

Answer 2

distance to target = d
arrow speed = 46.9 m/s
time arrow to target = d/46.9
speed sound back = 321.8 m/s
time sound coming back = d/321.8
so
2.24 = d/46.9 + d/321.8
your turn now.
