The other person said: 1 metre/second = 0.172603109 miles/hr
∴ 340 metres/second = 58.68505706 miles/hr
Let's see why that is wrong.
1 metre/second
= 60 metres/minute
=3600 metres/hour
1 statute mile = 1 609.344 metres,
therefore
1m/s
= 3600 / 1609.344 per hour
= 2.236 miles per hour
therefore
340m/s
= 340 x 2.236
=760.558 miles per hour
Now: idiot check, do you break the sound barrier in your car when driving 59 miles per hour? No.
Is the speed of sound more like 750 to 800 miles per hour (depending on the temperature)? Yes.
What else can I help you with?
How do you convert meters per second to hertz?
Hertz are a measurement of frequency, where meters per second is a measurement of velocity (speed). The two cannot be converted. Hertz is cycles per second, like a radio wave or sound wave. An example is a radio station transmitting on 10.0 MegaHertz (MHz) This indicates the radio wave oscillates 10 Million times per second. Meters per second can be used to measure, for example, the velocity of a car or bullet. Trying to convert frequency to speed would be like trying to convert Miles per hour to liters... it doesn't work.
How long does it take sound to travel 20 miles?
The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second. To convert this to miles per hour, we multiply by 3600 seconds per hour and divide by 1609.34 meters per mile, giving us roughly 767 mph. Therefore, it would take approximately 1 minute and 34 seconds for sound to travel 20 miles in ideal conditions.
How many second in speed of sound to hear lion at two miles away?
Take the number of feet in 2 miles (2*5,280) and divide it by the speed of sound in seconds ( 1,010 fps).
Witch is faster light or sound?
Light. Light travels 300,000,000 meters per second, whereas Sound is closer to 340 meters per second. This is why when you see a person hit a baseball from a distance, there is a delay in hearing the sound.
How many feet will sound travel in one minute?
At the temperature of 20 degrees Celsius the sound travels 343 meters in one second or 1125.328 feet in one second. That is 20580 meters in one minute or 67523 feet in one minute.
Speed of sound per hour?
The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second. To convert this to miles per hour, multiply by 3600 seconds in an hour and then divide by 1609 meters in a mile. The speed of sound in air is roughly 767 miles per hour.
Which is closest to the speed of sound in air in miles?
"Miles" is not a speed, it is a distance. A speed would be "miles per hour", for example. The speed of sound in air depends on several factors, especially on the temperature. A typical value is about 330 meters/second. I'll leave it up to you to convert this to the old-fashioned units.
What is the speed of sound in air in miles per second?
Approx 0.213 miles per second at sea level and 20 deg C.
Speed of light and speed of sound?
Speed of light in vacuum is a constant which is denoted by c and is 1,86,000 miles/sec or 299,792,458 meters/second. In dry air at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius speed of sound is 343 meters/second.
What is the speed of sound in air in meters per second?
343 meters/second

How do you calculate the miles of lightning?
With speed of sound at 340.29 meters/sec = 0.211 miles per second, a good estimate is to say the sound will travel approximately 1 mile in 5 seconds.
How long does it take sound to travel 20 miles?
The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second. To convert this to miles per hour, we multiply by 3600 seconds per hour and divide by 1609.34 meters per mile, giving us roughly 767 mph.

How fast does a sound wave travel meters per second?
The speed of sound at sea level is 340.29 meters per second.
Sound travels at a speed of 7189 feet per second how many meters per second does sound travel in this medium?
2191.21 meters per second.
How many second in speed of sound to hear lion at two miles away?
