A ship sends out ultrasound that returns from the seabed and is detected after 3.42 s. If the speed of ultrasound through sea water is 1531m s^(-1), what is the distance of the seabed from the ship?

Answer»

Solution :We KNOW, distance = speed `xx` TIME
2D = speed of ultrasound `xx` time
`2d=1531xx3.42`
`therefore d=(5236)/(2)=2618m`
Thus, the distance of the seabed from the ship is 2618 m or 2.618 KM.
