A sound wave is used to mesure the distance from the ship to the sea bed. An electronic device
placed in the ship traces a pulse sent from the ship and reflected pulse that returns. The
Time-base setting for the x-axis is 60 ms per division.
The speed of sound wave in water is 1500 m/s. Find
the distance from the ship to the sea bed.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Distance, d = 90 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of sound wave in water, v = 1500 m/s

The  time-base setting for the x-axis is 60 ms per division, [tex]t=60\ ms=60\times 10^{-3}\ s[/tex]

Let d is the distance from the ship to the sea bed.​ We know that the product of speed and time is called distance covered.

[tex]d=v\times t[/tex]

[tex]d=1500\ m/s\times 60\times 10^{-3}\ s[/tex]  

d = 90 meters

So, the distance from the ship to the sea bed is 90 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
