The speed of sound depends upon the medium through which the sound waves propagate and the properties of the medium (sate as solid or liquid or air, temperature, pressure, salinity, etc.).
Accordingly, the speed of sound in water depends on whether it is fresh or saline water and it depends on its temperature and pressure.
Assuming fresh water at 25 o C at atmospheric pressure, sound speed is about 1497 m/s.Accordingly, in two seconds sound travels: 2 (sec) x 1497 (m/sec) = 2994 meters
Answer is 2994 meters or about 3 kilometers
What else can I help you with?
How can you determine how far lightning is away from sound?
You can determine how far away lightning is by counting the seconds between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder, and then dividing by 5 to get the distance in miles or by 3 to get the distance in kilometers. Sound travels at a speed of about 1 kilometer per 3 seconds or 1 mile per 5 seconds.
How does thunder roll?
Thunder is the sound that lightening makes. Sound travels through air at "the speed of sound." Officially, the speed of sound is 331.3 meters per second (1,087 feet per second) in dry air at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). At a temperature like 28 degrees C (82 degrees F), the speed is 346 meters per second. As you can see, the speed of sound changes depending on the temperature and the humidity; but if you want a round number, then something like 350 meters per second and 1,200 feet per second are reasonable numbers to use. So sound travels 1 kilometer in roughly 3 seconds and 1 mile in roughly 5 seconds. When you see the flash of a lightning bolt, you can start counting seconds and then divide to see how far away the lightning struck. If it takes 10 seconds for the thunder to roll in, the lightning struck about 2 miles or 3 kilometers away.
How far away is a thunderstorm if you SEE a flash of lightning and then HEAR thunder 10 seconds later?
When lightning occurs and creates thunder you see the lightning immediately because light travels so fast (abot 186,000 miles per second). But sound travels much slower so you don't hear the thunder until several seconds after it occurs. I believe the approximate rule that is used is sound travels about 1 mile in 5 seconds. So if it is 15 seconds before you hear the thunder then the storm is about 3 miles away.
How far will an object near the Earth's surface fall in 7 seconds?
Assuming the object is in free fall near Earth's surface, it will fall approximately 343.3 meters (1126 feet) in 7 seconds. This calculation is based on the formula for free fall distance: d = 1/2 * g * t^2, where d is the distance fallen, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time in seconds.
Suppose 128 radioactive atoms have a half-life of 15 seconds Approximately how many radioactive atoms will be left after 60 seconds?
After 60 seconds, there will be 16 radioactive atoms left. This is calculated as 128/2/2/2/2 = 16, since the original 128 atoms would undergo four half-life periods in 60 seconds.
How far can sound travel in 2 seconds?
Sound travels at a speed of approximately 343 meters per second in air at room temperature. Therefore, in 2 seconds, sound can travel up to 686 meters.
How far would you travel going 3 miles for 2 seconds?
If you you travel 3 miles, you would get 3 miles far.
How far will a soccer ball travel in 2 seconds?
Depends on the speed the ball travels.
A bat flying in a cave emits a sound pulse and receives an echo in 2 seconds. How far away is the cave wall?
The sound wave travels to the wall and back in 2 seconds, so the total travel time is 2 seconds. To find the distance, divide the total time by 2 (since the sound has to travel there and back), giving a distance of 1 second for the sound wave to reach the wall. Multiply this time by the speed of sound in air (approximately 343 m/s) to find the distance, which is about 343 meters.
How far will a car travel going 25 mph in 2 seconds?
6.6 meteres or 20 feet
How long does it take for a sound wave to travel through 3000 m of water?
Sound travels at approximately 1500 m/s in water. So, it would take about 2 seconds for a sound wave to travel through 3000 m of water.
If A sailboat moves at a constant speed of 2 meters per second How far does it travel every 10 seconds?
20
How far will you travel if you run for 10 minutes at 2 meters per second?
1 minute = 60 seconds so 10 mintes = 10*60 = 600 seconds. 2 metres per second = 2*600 = 1200 metres in 600 seconds
How far do you travel in 2 second at 100km?
100 km per what time? speed is not given. Assume speed = 100 km/hour Then in 2 seconds you travel: 100 km/h = 100000/3600 m/second = 1000/36 meter/second in 2 seconds you travel 2000/36 meters = 500/9 meters = 55.6 meters
How long do sounds take to travel?
To travel where? - That would depend on the distance you want it to travel. In air, sound moves at about 310 meters per second (depends on the temperature). This is about 1,236 kilometers per hour (or 768 mph).
How can you determine how far lightning is away from sound?
You can determine how far away lightning is by counting the seconds between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder, and then dividing by 5 to get the distance in miles or by 3 to get the distance in kilometers. Sound travels at a speed of about 1 kilometer per 3 seconds or 1 mile per 5 seconds.
How far away can you hear a tiger roar?
The sound of a tiger's roar can travel a distance of up to 2 miles (~3 km).
