It depends on air pressure and temperature and whatnot, but it's about 340 meters/second.

How much time would it take for the sound of thunder to travel 2000 meters if sound travels a speed of 330'meters per sec.?
How much time would it take for the sound of thunder to travel 2000 meters if sound travels a speed of 330 meters per sec.
Is the speed of sound equal to the speed of light?
No, not even close. Light travels at 300,000,000 meters/sec but sound only at 340 meters/sec
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 wavelength of 1KHz?
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) If this is a 1 KHz sound wave in air, speed = approx 343 meters/sec Sound wavelength = (343 / 1,000) = 0.343 meter = 34.3 cm If this is a 1 KHz radio wave, speed = approx 300,000,000 meters/sec E & M wavelength = (300,000,000 / 1,000) = 300 Km
What is the frequency of a sound wave moving in a room temperature if the wavelength of 0.686 meters?
The speed of sound varies with temperature. At commonly experienced temperatures, it's about 343 meters/sec. Frequency = speed/wavelength = 343/0.686 = 500 Hz
How long would it take to travel 144 miles at sonic speed?
Using the speed of sound at sea-level ... approx 343 meters per second ... it would take about 10.25 minutes. _________________________________________________________________ The answer above in incorrect if sonic speed is 343 meters/sec. One mile is 1609.344 meters (exactly) 1609.344 meters/mi x 144mi ≈ 231746 meters in 144 miles 231746 meters divided by 343 meter/sec ≈ 675.6 sec or 11.26 minutes
If the wavelength of a 4.80 102 Hz sound in freshwater is 3.10 m what is the speed of sound in fresh water?
Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (480 Hz) x (3.1 m) = 1,488 meters/sec.(About 4.3 times the speed of sound in air !)
What is the definition of speed of light?
The definition of the speed of light in a vacuum is 300,000,000 meters/sec, or 186,000 miles/sec.
How do you convert a speed of 73.5 km hr to m sec?
73.5 km/hour = 73500 meters/hour = 73500/3600 meters/sec = 20.4166 meters/sec
What is the speed of a car that travels 100 meters in 50 sec?
speed =distance/time speed = 100/50 = 2 m/sec
What is the average speed of a car that traveled 300.0 miles in 5.5 hours?
How much time would it take for the sound of thunder to travel 1.500 meters if sound travels at a speed of 330 m/sec
What is the fastest speed for a log flume?
10 meters/sec
