If you drop a stone into a well that is 118.5 m deep how soon after you drop the stone will you hear it hit the bottom of the well?
About 5.26 seconds. (almost 4.92 seconds to hit, 0.35 sec for the sound to return)You need to find how long it takes for the stone to drop to the water and makean audible 'sploosh', and then find how long it takes for the sound to reach youfrom the depths. The acceleration g is about 9.8 m/sec2.Time to sploosh:x = 1/2 g T2118.5 = 4.9 T2T = sqrt(118.5/4.9) secondsTime for the sound to return to the top: (Use 340 meters per second)118.5/340 secondsTotal time between the drop and hearing the sploosh:sqrt(118.5/4.9) + (118.5/340 ) = 5.26 seconds(rounded)
Do sound waves create sound?
Sound waves are more precisely described as pressure waves, caused by an oscillating wave of pressure usually in air. Just like dropping a stone in a pond, the waves move out from the source, although usually in three dimensions. The sound is perceived by humans as the pressure waves hit the eardrum and are transmitted into the inner ear where small hair-like structures are activated and in turn activate nerves that transmit the information to the brain where it is interpreted as sound.
How fast does sound travel through stone?
The rate at which sound travels through stone depends on the stone. Sound will travel faster through warm stone than cold stone.
