Answer:
h = 493 m
Explanation:
Given that,
A rock is dropped from a sea cliff, and the sound of it striking the ocean is heard 2.9 s later.
The total distance covered by the rock is 2d. We know that,
Speed = distance/time
[tex]v=\dfrac{2d}{t}\\\\d=\dfrac{vt}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{340\times 2.9}{2}\\\\d=493\ m[/tex]
So, the height of the cliff is equal to 493 m.
