Problem 16
A
The person listening to the radio will hear the singer 0.14 s before the person in the balcony.
NOTE: the video incorrectly uses 4 cm4 \textrm{ cm} when it should instead use 0.04 m0.04 \textrm{ m} since the denominator of the fraction is in units of  m/s\textrm{ m/s}. With this correction the answer is 0.1369 s0.1369 \textrm{ s}, which rounds to 0.14 s0.14 \textrm{ s}, rather than the 0.13 s0.13 \textrm{ s} given in the video.

Shouldn't it be 0.04m instead of 4cm because you are working in meters?

Sharp eye thesoutportschool. Thanks for spotting that. When that is corrected to use 0.04m instead of 4cm it turns out the answer becomes 0.1369 s0.1369 \textrm{ s} which rounds to 0.14 s0.14 \textrm{ s}, rather than the 0.13 s0.13 \textrm{ s} given. I've made a note about the error in the Quick Answer.

Best wishes with your studies,
