Question2: A hunter is standing on flat ground between twovertical cliffs that are directly opposite one another. He iscloser to one cliff than the other. He fires a gun and, after awhile, hears three echoes. The second echo arrives 1.92 s after thefirst, and the third echo arrives 1.46 s after the second.
