A research team sends a sonar signal to confirm the depth of a sea. They heard an echo after 6s.Find the depth of the sea. an echo after 6s.Find the depth of the sea m/s?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the depth of the sea = d m
Then Total distance
travelled by sonar signal `(s) = 2d`
`=1500 m//s`
Total time taken `(t) = 6s`
From, `s= ut`,
`2d=1500 m//s xx 6s`
`d=9000//2 m=4.5` km
