A hunter is standing on flat ground between two vertical cliffs that are directly opposite one another. He is closer to one cliff than the other. He fires a gun and, after a while, hears three echoes. The second echo arrives 1.65 s after the first, and the third echo arrives 1.18 s after the second. Assuming that the speed of sound is 343 m/s and that there are no reflections of sound from the ground, find the distance (in m) between the cliffs.

    On a hiking trip, you are walking through a canyon with vertical walls and are closer to one wall than the other. Having taken Physics, you decide to determine the width of the canyon by using your knowledge of kinematics and the speed of sound. You shout "Hey" as loud as you can, and after a short time you hear three echoes. The second echo arrives 1.5 safter the first, and the third echo arrives 0.9 s after the second....

    In a scene from the movie 'Matrix Reloaded', Trinity (one of the 'good characters') is falling out a high window towards the ground with agent Johnson (a 'bad guy') falling out of the window towards her. (The agent falls from the window after Trinity does, so the agent is above (further from the ground) than Trinity.) While falling, Trinity fires her gun upwards at the agent. Let's make the following assumptions: Trinity's speed towards the ground is 54 m/s (she...
