A supersonic aircraft flies at 3 km altitude at a speed of 1000 m/s on a standard day. How long after passing directly above a ground observer is the sound of the aircraft heard by the ground observer

Explanation:

A supersonic aircraft flies at 3 km altitude at a speed of 1000 m/s on a standard day. How long after passing directly above a ground observer is the sound of the aircraft heard by the ground observer

Using the formula for calculating speed expressed as;

Speed = Distance/Time

Given;

Distance = 3km = 3000m

Speed = 1000m/s

Required

How long after passing directly above a ground observer is the sound of the aircraft heard by the ground observer (Time)

From the formula;

Time = Distance/speed

Time = 3000/1000

Time = 3seconds

Hence the sound of the aircraft is heard after 3 seconds
