To estimate the distance to a quarry based on the time it takes to hear an explosion, you can use the speed of sound in air, which is approximately 343 meters per second at room temperature. If you hear the explosion after 3.5 seconds, the distance can be calculated as: distance = speed × time. Therefore, the quarry would be approximately 343 m/s × 3.5 s = 1,202.5 meters away, or about 1.2 kilometers.

Can you see a plane going Mach 2.4?
Yes - but it will be travelling fast ! You will hear the sound of the engines a few seconds after the plane passes overhead.
Why do you hear a beep every 5 seconds when you are talking on an international call?
The beep you hear every 5 seconds during an international call is typically an indication from the telecommunications system that the call is being monitored or that it has been connected through a service that tracks call duration. This is often a feature of certain international calling services to alert users about the ongoing connection and to prevent unexpected disconnections. In some cases, it may also serve as a reminder about billing increments.

How long would it take to hear an echo if a cliff is 600 meters away?
To calculate the time it takes to hear an echo from a cliff 600 meters away, we first need to consider the speed of sound, which is approximately 343 meters per second in air. The total distance for the sound to travel to the cliff and back is 1,200 meters (600 meters to the cliff and 600 meters back). Therefore, the time to hear the echo is 1,200 meters divided by 343 meters per second, which is about 3.5 seconds.
How do you die in seconds?
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It's really important to talk to someone who can help you, like a mental health professional or a trusted person in your life. You don't have to go through this alone; there are people who care and want to support you.
If workers in a distant stone quarry are blasting why can you feel the explosion in your feet before you hear it?
The reason you feel the explosion in your feet before you hear it is due to the difference in the speed of sound through different mediums. The shockwave travels faster through solid material (like the ground) than through the air, so you sense the vibrations in the ground before you hear the sound through the air.
Why do the people sitting at a distance hear sound at the same time as the people sitting nearby?
This will only happen if the distances are not that great so the difference in time is so small that it is not detected. Sound travels a few hundred metres per second in air. An explosion heard a mile away will be about 5 seconds after those near the explosion hear it.
Explosion-do you see it first and then hear it?
You FIRST see it, then you HEAR it. The time delay depends on your distance from the source of the explosion. The explanation, light travels faster than sound.
What is the duration of See Hear?

What two physics mistakes occur when you see and hear an explosion from outer space in movies?
1.that you see the explosion and hear it at the same time , while you should see first and here it later. 2.that sometimes there is smoke which immposible since there is no air.
Why can't we hear explosions?
If you can't hear explosions, you need a doctor. Perhaps we are too far away, or there is another noise which is masking the sound of the explosion.
What was the biggest volcanic explosion in the world?
Krakatoa the biggest volcanicexplosion. The explosion was so big u could hear it from Indonesia to Madagascar which happened 10 days ago
What two physics mistakes occur when you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time?
The two mistakes are that sound travels slower than light, so if you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time, the explosion actually happened some time earlier. Additionally, the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound, so the light from the explosion will reach you much sooner than the sound.
When an explosion in the atmosphere occurs Why do you see lightning before the thunder heard?
this is because you hear the thunder after it actually makes the sound ( because sound travells ) . lightenging and thunder happen at exactly the same time... so if u see lightenging, try counting how many seconds until u hear the thunder. if it is 5 seconds the storm is 5 miles away into the sky, 6 seconds would be 6 miles 7secs 7 miles and so on. hope this helped :) xx
