Height of a Firework
In this activity you are to determine the height at which a firework explodes based on the horizontal distance you are away from the site of the explosion and the delay in time between the explosion and the arrival of the sound at your location. Make sure you take into consideration the temperature of the air on the night this firework exploded, for that will affect the speed of sound through the air.
