Answer 1

break the total sound into two parts:
1) time for the rock to hit the surface.

h=ho-4.9t^2
t= sqrt(400/4.9) check that.

2) time for the sound to go 400m
t= 400/343

check that

add the two times.

Answer 2

^acceleration is 9.8 as well. and wheres 343 from ?

Answer 3

Shut up

Answer 4
