determine the following distances based on the sonar data given. a ship sends a sound pulse downward and receives the reflected sound 2.50 s later. use the formula d=vt. assume the speed of sound in sea water is 1540 m/s
What distances need to be calculated? The depth of the water?
a rock is dropped at sea cliff at the sound of it striking the ocean if head 3.4 seconds later. If the speed of sound is 340m/s how high is the cliff?
To determine the distance based on the sonar data, we can use the formula d = v * t, where d is the distance, v is the speed of sound in the medium, and t is the time it takes for the sound pulse to travel.
In this case, the ship sends a sound pulse downward and receives the reflected sound 2.50 s later. The speed of sound in sea water is given as 1540 m/s.
Plugging in the values into the formula, we have:
d = 1540 m/s * 2.50 s
Multiplying the values, we get:
d = 3850 m
Therefore, based on the given sonar data, the ship is located at a distance of 3850 meters from the point of reflection.
