This calculation can be done by thinking of the problem in terms of an equation. The speed of sound with an air medium is 1236km/hr, and the total distance needing to be traveled is 5.80 meters. Let's break down the 1236km/hr. This means that sound travels roughly 20.6km/minute. That's roughly 343 meters per second. It would take a sound less than .017 seconds to return to the point of origin.

What do astronomers measure to estimate the distance and motion of a galaxy?

they transmit radio wave frequency to space and check for the their return or reflecting time , same as that used to calculate speed of light, for calculating the distance of galaxy. if the return radio frequency has increased, then they are moving closer to earth and vice versa. thank you

How long would it take the sound wave from a camera to return after bouncing off a tree if the subject at a distance of 2.90 m away from the tree?

Divide the distance by the speed. For the distance, I guess you should take twice the distance (since the sound has to go back and forth). The speed of sound in air is about 330 m/s.


How does a bouncing ball differ from a vehicle hitting a solid object?

The vehicle is not made of rubber -- it crumples rather than bouncing- it does return to its old shape when compressed.

How do geometric sequences apply to a bouncing ball?

The ball does not return to its initial height after bouncing. So the height it reaches after the first bounce will be a fraction of the initial height, etc. This is a geometric sequence with common ratio 5/8.


How is an echo sounder used to determine the bathymetry of the ocean floor?

They send down a sound wave (whose velocity they know) and measure how much time it takes for it to return. Velocity=Distance/time Distance=Velocity*time They divide the distance by 2 (since the sonar wave has to return as well.) They make thousands of these measurements to make a map of the ocean floor based on these distances.


How can you throw a ball so it will reverse direction and return to you without the ball bouncing against or touching any solid object?
