AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the time it takes for the sound of the gunshot fired by observer A to reach observer B, who is 1650 meters away. We can use the formula that relates distance, speed, and time. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Distance (d) = 1650 meters - Speed of sound (v) = 330 meters per second ...
