Question

a ship's sonar sends messages and receives the echoes from the ocean bottom 0.6 seconds after the sound is sent down from the ship.how Deep is the water beneath the ship? (Given speed of sound in still water = 1450m/s)​

Answer 1

Speed of Sound = 2D

Time

Where D is the depth of water

2D = Speed × Time

2D = 1450m/s × 0.6s

D = 1450m/s × 0.6s

D

Depth D = 870m
