Algebra.Com's Answer #744313 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The report (sound) of a gun moved at 367 yards per sec. with the wind and 353 yd. / sec. against the wind. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Determine: 1)Velocity of sound \n" ); document.write( "It's the average of upwind and downwind speeds \n" ); document.write( "= (367 + 353)/2 = 360 \n" ); document.write( "============ \n" ); document.write( "and 2)Rate of wind blowing. \n" ); document.write( "The difference = 367 - 360 = 7 \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
