0.0161 sec - 0.0115 sec = 0.0046 sec\n\n2 meters / 0.0046 sec = 434.8 m/sec

Mach is the speed of sound. So Mach 3 is three times the speed of sound.

In air, higher temperatures result in faster sound waves.  The formula is \n\nV = Vo SQRT( 1 + T/273) , where V = speed of sound in the air, T = temperature in degrees Celsius, and Vo= speed of sound at 0 degrees Celsius = 331 m/s.

Helium is an inert gas that is lighter than air and can be inhaled briefly without risk of death. Sound is produced by vibration, the movement of air around our vocal chords. Because helium gas is lighter than the usual oxygen/nitrogen blend, it changes the resonant frequency of the human vocal tract, causing a faster vibration and a higher-pitched, cartoon-character sound.

If it is open on both ends, the harmonic frequencies are:\n\nf=nv/2L\n\nwhere n is the harmonic number (1st, 2nd, etc), v is the speed of sound in air (~343 m/s), and L is the length of the pipe.

Yes, speed of sound is "fixed", like the speed of light and does not depend on the frequency\n\nFrequency affects the volume, if it's peak and trough changes. Higher the peak and trough, the louder the sound and vice versa.\n\nFrequency affects the pitch,if it gets higher or lower. Higher the frequency, higher the pitch, lower the frequency lower the pitch.\n\nHowever sound does change speed depending on the medium it's traveling in.  It travels faster in water,I believe.\nAnd it cannot travel in vacum, so it has zero speed in space.

Speed of sound is dependent on temperature. Speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of pressure and inversely proportional to the square root of the density of the medium.\nv is proportional to P(pressure) and inversely proportional to D(density)\nP/D=RT/M    where R is the gas constant, T is the absolute temperature and M is the molecular mass.\n\nTherefore, Pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.\nHence,\nv is directly proportional to the temperature.

341m/s but it changes according to the weather conditions in humid climate it is faster as compared to dry.and yeah sound does not travel through vacuum\nspeed of sound in solids > liquids > gases

Sound is a type of longitudinal, mechanical wave. They need a medium to propagate and will not travel through a vacuum. Sound travels at different speed in different media. The speed of sound is determined by the density (ρ) and compressibility (β) of the medium. Density is the amount of material in a given volume, and compressibility is a meaasure of how much a substance could be compacted for a given pressure. The denser and the more compressible, the faster the sound waves would travel. Therefore, the speed of sound is about four times faster in water than in air. The speed of sound in a medium can be determined by the equation  …\n\nv = (βρ)-1/2\n\nWhere …\n\nv is the speed of sound,\nβ is the bulk modulus of elasticity, and\nρ (rho) is the density.\n\nThe speed of sound can also be affected by temperature. Sound waves tend to travel faster at higher temperatures. I have found different values for the speed of sound in water in different sources. They range from 1450 to 1498 meters per second in distilled water and 1531 m/s in sea water at room temperatures (20 to 25 °C).

The speed of sound actually varies depending on the medium through which the sound is traveling. The speed of sound varies directly with the number of degrees of freedom of each molecule in the gas and varies inversely with the molar mass of the gas.\n\nThe speed of sound in air is approximately 331.5 meters per second or 741.5 mph.

In air sound moves away from a source at a speed of 333 m/s. That means that the pressure waves in the air that represent the sound move at that speed.\n\nNow imagine an airplane moving faster than the speed of sound. This means that the source of the sound moves faster than the sound itself. The result is that the sound waves no longer travel out ward in circles. Instead they add up to form a shockwave, a broadening cone of  compressed air trailing diagonally from the nose of the plane. When the cone passes through a listener he will here the sonic boom, which is nothing else than the sum of several seconds of airplane sound added up.\n\nThere is a physical analogue to this: a duck swimming in a pond moves faster than the waves that he makes can travel outward.\nThe shock wave is visible as a diagonal trailing outwards from the belly of the duck.

Pay more attention in class! And assuming it is an ideal gas, use PV=nRT. Since there is not change in volume you can basically drop it from the equation and make P=nRT. If you like algebra you can leave it in but it will cancel out eventually. You could solve for 'n' first using initial P and T, and then plug and chug.

At normal atmospheric pressure, the temperature dependence of the speed of a sound wave through air is approximated by the following equation:\n\nv = 331 m/s + (0.6 m/s/C)*T\nwhere T is the temperature of the air in degrees Celsius. Using this equation is used to determine the speed of a sound wave in air at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius yields the following solution.\n\nv = 331 m/s + (0.6 m/s/C)*T \nv = 331 m/s + (0.6 m/s/C)*20 C\n\nv = 331 m/s + 12 m/s\n\nv = 343 m

I searched this because I was curious and a terminal velocity would be variable according to range and wind conditions but leaving the muzzle of the gun,  a muzzle velocity of 1610m/s (5,281fps) which means you certainly wouldn't hear it coming at over six times the speed of sound\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/stormer30/index.html\na site you may find of interest.

only in space where there is no air\n\nof  course there no clouds either but electrical spark can still be produced artificially\n\nedit: "a mile away for every second counted: -- make this about 4-5 seconds; the sound speed is about 300m/s

The speed of sound (at sea level) approximately is 340.29 m/s and can be used as a global estimate for the speed of sound for the purposes of this calculation.  That would mean that students measuring such a sound would need to be seperated by 340 meters to measure even a 1 second delay in sound propagation.  Additionally they would need to be able to perfectly synchronize the start of the sound event and the start of stopwatch event.  Making it even worse is the need to react with enough speed to stop the stopwatch upon reciept of the signal without significant reaction delay.\n\nThe experiment would be simply to accomplish with resources to control synchronization and detection equipment, but it would not be a low-budget, high-school type of experiment.
