You really need to cultivate reading comprehension and logical thinking. They both seem not so much deficient, as absent. Al

For one thing V varies with atmospheric temperature and several other things. So your "v" is massively simplistic. Those equations are for determining distance travelled by a particle mass in a pre- relativistic universe. For one thing there's no such thing as sound travelling in one direction only. Al
