A sailor strikes the side of his ship just below the waterline. He hears the
echo of the sound reflected from the ocean floor directly below 2.02 s later
How deep is the ocean at this point? (Speed of sound in water=1500m/s)

Sagot :

At this location, the ocean lies 1515 meters deep.

What does "sound" mean in physics?

Particles that are vibrating make up sound waves. These collide with other particles, causing them tp vibrate, which allows the sound to escape the source. Your ear drums vibrate as a result of air vibrations, which allows you to perceive sound. This vibration is transformed into messages, which proceed to your brain via a nerve.

Briefing:

Let the sound speed in sea water be 1500 m/s.

If he hears the echo 3.5s after the strike,

then the sound would have traveled a distance of:

                         1500 * 2.02 = 3030 m to the bottom and back.

This would mean the ocean is 3030 / 2 = 1515 m deep.
