A person standing in front of a cliff fires a gun and hears its echo after 3 s. If the speed of sound in air is 336 ms−1.
- Calculate the distance of the person from the cliff.
- After moving a certain distance from the cliff, he fires the gun again, and this time the echo is heard 1.5 s later than the first. Calculate the distance that the person moved.
