MCQ
A person standing between two vertical cliffs and 640m away from the nearest cliff shouted. He heard the first echo after 4 seconds and the second echo 3 seconds later. What is the distance between the cliffs?
  • A
    1570m
  • B
    1760m
  • C
    1520m
  • D
    1225m

Answer

  1. 1760m

Explanation:

$\text{v}=\frac{2\text{d}}{\text{t}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\frac{2\times640}{4}=320\text{m/ s}$

$\therefore\text{v}=\frac{2\text{d}}{\text{t}}$

$\Rightarrow320=\frac{2\text{x}}{7}$

$\text{x}=1120\text{m}$

Distance $=1120+640$

$=1760\text{m}$​​​​​​​
