Question:

Suppose you are part of a team that is trying to break the sound barrier with a jet-powered car, which means that it must travel faster than the speed of sound in air. In the morning, the air temperature is 0 °C, and the speed of sound is 331 m/s. What speed must your car exceed if it is to break the sound barrier when the temperature has risen to 43 °C in the afternoon? Assume that air behaves like an ideal gas.
