To solve the problem of finding the distance to the underwater cliff based on the sonar pulse emitted by the submarine, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Scenario**: - A submarine emits a sonar pulse that travels to an underwater cliff and reflects back. The total time taken for the pulse to return is given as 1.02 seconds. 2. **Identify the Total Distance**: ...
