Question

A ship sends out ultrasound that returns from the seabed and is directed after 3.42 s. If the speed of ultrasound through seawater is 1531 m/sec. What is the distance of the seabed from the ship?

Answer 1

Answer:

2618 meters

Explanation:

In this question,

We have been given that

A ship sends out ultrasound that returns from the seabed and is directed after in 3.42s i .e Time taken(t) = 3.42seconds

Speed of ultrasound through seawater (v) = 1531 m/s

Distance of sea bed from the ship is given as

D =  $\mathbf{\frac{v \times t}{2}}$

Putting the values we get,

   = $\frac{1531 \times 3.42}{2}$

   = 2618meters

Distance of the seabed from the ship is 2618 meters.
