The general definition of elastic modulus is

A.

stressstrain

B.

strainstress

C.

stress×strain

D.

A boy receives the echo of his clap reflected by a nearby hill 0.8s later. If the speed of sound in air is 340ms1, how far is he from the hill?

A.

66m

B.

136m

C.

264m

D.

528m

Correct answer is B

2 × Distance = speed × time
2 × Distance = (340) × (0.8)

= 272/2
Distance = 136m
