A ship sends sonar and receives an echo after 2 seconds. If the speed of sound waves in water is 1500 m/s, then the depth of the sea is
A 1500 m
B 500 m
C 1000 m
D 750 m

Respuesta :

After 2seconds of sending sonar, a ship hears an echo. The depth of the sea is 1500 meters if the sound wave speed in water is 1500 m/s.

Let sea depth equal d.

Considering that the sound wave's water speed (v) is 1500 m/s

The sound must travel to the ocean's bottom before being reflected back to the ship, resulting in a total distance of two dimensions for the sound.

Time (t) = 2s for receiving the echo

Total distance traveled times the speed of sound

1500 m/s is equal to 2d/2s = 1500 m.

Consequently, the water is 1500 meters deep.
