Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Velocity = \(\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}\)
echo time = halt total time
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 4 = 25
velocity = \(\frac{680}{2}\)
= 340ms-1
Velocity = \(\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}\)
echo time = halt total time
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 4 = 25
velocity = \(\frac{680}{2}\)
= 340ms-1
