425 m425\text{ m}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the given values.

    The time taken for the sound to travel to the rock and back is t=2.5 st = 2.5\text{ s}.
    The velocity of sound is v=340 msv = 340\ \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}.

  2. Calculate the total distance traveled by the sound.

    The sound travels from the boy to the rock and then reflects back to the boy. So, the total distance covered by the sound is twice the distance of the boy from the rock.
    Total distance = Velocity ×\times Time

    Total distance=340 ms×2.5 s\text{Total distance} = 340\ \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}} \times 2.5\text{ s} Total distance=850 m\text{Total distance} = 850\text{ m}
  3. Calculate the distance of the boy from the rock.

    The total distance calculated in Step 2 is for the sound to travel to the rock and back. To find the distance of the boy from the rock, divide the total distance by 2.
    Distance to rock = Total distance2\frac{\text{Total distance}}{2}

    Distance to rock=850 m2\text{Distance to rock} = \frac{850\text{ m}}{2} Distance to rock=425 m\text{Distance to rock} = 425\text{ m}

    The distance of the boy from the rock is:

    425 m425\text{ m}
