The submarine emits a pulse of sound to detect other objects in the sea. The sped of sound in sea water is 1500m/s. An echo is received with a time delay of 0.50s after the original sound is emitted. Calculate the distance between submarine and the other object

d = 375 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound is constant in any medium, therefore we can use the uniform motion relationships

          v = x / t

          x = v t

In this case it indicates that the time since the sound is emitted and received is t = 0.50 s, in this time the sound traveled a round trip distance

           x = 2d

          2d = v t

          d = v t/2

let's calculate

          d = 1500 0.5 / 2

          d = 375 m
