What experiment could you perform to measure the speed of sound in air when you are provided with a starters gun a stop watch and tape measure?

One person holds the gun and the stopwatch. The other person walks away, unrolling the tape measure ast they go - and stops at an agreed distance. The first person fires the gun - and starts the stopwatch. The second person signals when they hear the shot - and the stopwatch is halted. Divide the time taken for the shot to be heard by the measured distance - and you have the speed of sound.

How can you find the speed of an object that is in motion?

-- Mark its location as you start your stopwatch. -- After some time has passed, mark its location again as you stop the stopwatch. -- Measure the distance between the two marks. -- Read the elapsed time on the stopwatch. -- Divide (distance traveled)/(time to travel the distance) . The quotient is the object's average speed during the interval. The shorter the measurement interval, the closer the result is to an instantaneous speed.
