The sound was repeated because of the phenomenon of echo. The speed of sound in the metal is 800 m/s.

Echo results from the reflection of sound waves. The reason why a sound may be heard twice owes to the phenomenon of reflection which leads to echo.

To determine the speed of sound in the metal;

Length of metal = 1000 m

Time taken between the two sounds = 2.5 s

Using the formula;

V = 2d/t

V = 2(1000)/2.5

V = 800 m/s

Superman is flying 54.5 m/s when he sees

Nady [450]

348.34 m/s. When Superman reaches the train, his final velocity will be 348.34 m/s.

To solve this problem, we are going to use the kinematics equations for constant aceleration. The key for this problem are the equations $d=v_{0} t+\frac{at^{2} }{2}$ and $v_{f} =v_{0} +at$ where $d$ is distance, $v_{0}$ is the initial velocity, $v_{f}$ is the final velocity, $t$ is time, and $a$ is aceleration.

Superman's initial velocity is $v_{0}=54.5\frac{m}{s}$ , and he will have to cover a distance d = 850m in a time t = 4.22s. Since we know $d$ , $v_{0}$ and $t$ , we have to find the aceleration $a$ in order to find $v_{f}$ .
