Take the number of feet in 2 miles (2*5,280) and divide it by the speed of sound in seconds ( 1,010 fps).
"ms" in this case is short for "meters per second". It means that sound advances that many meters every second.
Yes! Sound has to have a medium such as air to travel. That's why there is no sound in space. So, if you stood on the surface of the earth and yelled very loudly straight up, the sound would stop after about 300 miles, because our atmosphere is only 300 miles thick. When the air runs out, the sound stops. BUT, if you shine a very bright light straight up, the light could go much, much further, because light CAN travel through the vacuum of space. That's how we can see stars that are trillions of miles away, because of the light they shine in our direction.
10000 miles
We see the firework works first because the because burning emits light . It is a fact that it travels faster than sound . So the sound energy produced during the burning of fire work reaches us late . So we hear the sound after vizualizing it.
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.
well the speed of light is roughly 186000 miles/second so you would be about 22766400000 miles away
Light travels almost a million times faster in air. There is very little difference between the speed of light in a vacuum as in air. It is around 0.01% slower in air. Because of the difference between the speed of light and sound you can estimate the distance of a lightning strike. For every 3 seconds between the flash and the sound of thunder the lightning strike is 1 km away or 5 seconds for a mile. The actual speeds are light 300,000 km per second speed of sound 0.33 km per second.
Just under 30 seconds. The speed of sound in air is 1100 feet per second. To cover 10K (which is 6.2 miles), you could multiply 6.2 by 5,280 (the number of feet in a mile), which gives you 32,736 ft. Then divide the number of feet by the speed of sound, and you get 29.76 seconds. Roughly converted the speed of sound is 330 meters per second so it takes 3 second per kilometer, so 30 seconds
Using the speed of sound at 20° C, which is 343 m/sec, the cannon would be 2058 meters away. Temperature, pressure, and humidity could all affect the actual speed.
"ms" in this case is short for "meters per second". It means that sound advances that many meters every second.
To find Kira's average speed, you need to divide the total distance by the time taken: Speed = Distance/Time. In this case, Kira's average speed would be 72 miles divided by 36 seconds, which equals 2 miles per second.
Supersonic waves are created when something surpasses the speed of sound, which ranges from 330-350 meters per second (depending on the temperature of the media, etc.) and the loud crack is called a sonic boom. The sonic boom isn't necessarily at the same time that the object breaks the barrier but when the sound wave reaches ones ears. Many sonic booms can be heard from miles away.

The round trip distance is 200 feet. The speed in this case is 200 / .185, or 1081 feet per second.

Even at that great speed the trip would take 5,228.6 years.
