Question

A marching band is practicing. The band director sees the drum major hit a drum. How far away is the director if he hears the drumbeat in 0.40 seconds? The speed of sound is 330 m/s.

12 m
132 m
264 m
825 m

Answer 1

Distance = speed × time = 330 m/s × 0.40 s = 132 m. So the director is 132 m away.
