An archer fires an arrow, which produces a muffled "thwok" sound after it hits a target. If the archer hears the "thwok" exactly 1.2 s after firing the arrow and the average speed of the arrow was 48 m/s, what was the distance separating the archer and the target? Use 340 m/ s for the speed of sound.

Answer 1

I posted this question, can someone tell me how to do it?

Answer 2

time outbound = d/48
time back = d/340
so
d/48 + d/340 = 1.2

(.0208333 + .00294)d = 1.2

d = 50.5 meters
