A plane is flying at Mach $1.2,$ and an observer on the ground hears the sonic boom 15.00 seconds after the plane is directly overhead. What is the altitude of the plane? Assume the speed of sound is $v_{\mathrm{w}}=343.00 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$.
A supersonic jet passes directly overhead at an altitude of 1.40 Ă— 10^4 m, traveling at 727 m/s. How much time elapses before you hear the sonic boom?

A supersonic aircraft flies at $3 \mathrm{km}$ altitude at a speed of $1000 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ on a standard day. How long after passing directly above a ground observer is the sound of the aircraft heard by the ground observer?
