The speed (v) at which sound travels through air is dependent upon the temperature of the air and seems to follow the equation v = 331 m/s + 0.6 m/s/°C * T, where T is the Celsius temperature of the air. Determine the speed of sound in the following situations. a. On a cold day when the outdoor temperature is 11°C.
