An echo-sounder in a fishing boat receives an echo from a shoal of fish 0.45 s after it was sent. If the speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s, how deep is the shoal?
Going through the sums, we can list the given quantities as, speed v= 1500 m/s time in which the signal is recieved back after hitting the shoal, i.e time for going+time for coming back i.e 2t = 0.45 s therefore t = 0.225s To find distance d = ? Solution – velocity, distance and time can be…
