An oceanic depth-sounding vessel surveys the ocean bottom with ultrasonic waves that travel at 1530 m/s in seawater. The time delay of the echo to the ocean floor and back is 6 s. ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

d = 4590 m

Explanation:

given,

Speed of ultrasonic wave, v = 1530 m/s

time of the echo, t = 6 s

Let d be the depth of the ocean

now,

total distance travel by the ultrasonic wave = 2 d

we know,

distance = speed x t

2 d = 1530 x 6

d = 1530 x 3

d = 4590 m

Hence, the depth of the ocean floor is equal to d = 4590 m
