Which of these uses sound waves to measure the distance between objects underwater?

Sound waves bounce off the ocean floor and come back up to whatever emitted it. The time it takes for the sound wave to come back tells how far down it went. Doing this many times over and over, one can map out the ocean floor, and if the sound wave comes back relatively fast, that means there is something on the ocean floor.

with sonar waves that bounce back to their detectors

What is the distance between two objects on a table?
take a measuring tape and measure the distance between the two objects
Determined by the distance between objects and the difference in mass between the objects?
The distance between objects and the different is 0. The distance between the mass and an object is 1.
Does gravity between two objects depend on mass or distance?
The gravitational attraction between two objects depends on both their masses and the distance between them. It is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects divided by the distance between them (mass1 x mass2)/ distance between.
What factors determine the force of gravity between two objects?
the mass of the objects and the distance of the objects
Does distance between objects effect the gravitational attraction between them?
Yes. At a greater distance, the gravitational attraction between two objects is less.

How do you measure the distance between two heavenly bodies?
Let's say we want to measure the distance between objects A and B. First, we measure the distance from the Earth(point E) to these objects(using Doppler-shifts).Then, we measure the angle AEB.We now know the lengths of two sides, and the angle between them. That's how we find the distance AB.
What can you do with a ruler?
You can measure the length of an object or the distance between two objects.
What is sonar in a scientific definition?
SONAR stands for SOund Navigation And Ranging.SONAR is a device that uses ultrasonic waves to measure the distance , direction and speed of underwater objects.
Determined by the distance between objects and the difference in mass between the objects?
The distance between objects and the different is 0. The distance between the mass and an object is 1.
How is the gravitational force related to the distance between the objects?
its inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects.
What does gravity depend on between objects?
The mass of the objects and the distance between them.

What is distance in math?
The distance between two objects.
Does distance between objects effect the gravitational attraction between them?
Yes. At a greater distance, the gravitational attraction between two objects is less.
What are the factors that determine the strength of gravity between two objects?
The masses of the two objects and the distance between them.
