A sound wave moving with a speed of 1500 m/s is sent from a submarine to the ocean floor. It reflects off the

Answer:

the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the wave, v = 1500 m/s

time of motion of the wave, t = 15 s

The time taken to receive the echo is calculated as;

[tex]time \ of \ motion \ (t) = \frac{total \ distance }{speed \ of \ wave} = \frac{2d}{v} \\\\2d = vt\\\\d = \frac{vt}{2} \\\\d = \frac{1500 \times 15}{2} \\\\d = 11,250 \ m[/tex]

Therefore, the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m
