Consult Multiple-Concept Example 4 in order to review a model for solving this type of problem. Suppose that you are standing by the side of a road in the Sahara desert where the temperature has reached a hot 56 C (130 F). A truck, traveling at a constant speed, passes by. After 4.00 s have elapsed, you use the ultrasonic ruler discussed in Example 4 to measure the distance to the truck. A sound pulse leaves the ultrasonic ruler and returns 0.120 s later. Assume that the average molecular mass of air is 28.9 u, air is an ideal diatomic gas , and the truck moves a negligible distance in the time it takes for the sound pulse to reach it. Determine how fast the truck is moving.
