In order to calculate a distance, we must use the equation
Speed=Distance/Time
and rearrange it by multiplying both sides by time to get
Distance=Speed*Time.
If the station is measuring time for a return signal, the signal only spent half its total time traveling to the object, or in this case, 1.5 seconds. Sonar stations receive signals sent via sound-waves, but since the speed of sound varies in different mediums, the speed, and thus the distance, depends on where the sonar station is. If the station is above ground, the speed of sound is approximately 343 meters/second, so the object would have to be 514.5 meters away. If however the station and object were underwater, the speed of sound is about 1497 meters/second (varying depending on water temperature and composition) meaning the object would be 2245.5 meters away.

Does radar determine the size of an object?
Radar is usually used only to determine where something is, not how large it is, because the strength of the reflection depends upon the reflectivity of the surface, the distance of the object, and the size of the object; a large wooden object can return less of a signal than a much smaller metal object, for example. It's too complicated a problem. But if you already know that you are looking, let us say, for an airplane, then radar is very good at showing you where the plane is.
What happens when radar beam hits an object?
When a radar beam hits an object, it gets reflected back towards the radar receiver. The time difference between sending the radar signal and receiving the reflected signal is used to calculate the distance of the object from the radar. The radar can also determine the object's speed and shape based on how the radar signal is reflected.
What does the Velocity signal do?
The Velocity signal measures the speed at which an object is moving along a particular direction. It provides information on the rate of change of an object's position over time, indicating whether the object is speeding up, slowing down, or maintaining a constant speed.
What does each signal vibration of an object produce?
Each signal vibration of an object produces a specific sound frequency. The frequency of the vibration determines the pitch or note of the sound. The intensity of the vibration affects the volume or amplitude of the sound produced.
Is it true that the transmitter of a radio station combines an electronic signal with a sound waves?
Yes, a radio transmitter converts an electronic signal (such as audio from a microphone) into radio frequency (RF) waves. These RF waves are then transmitted through antennas as electromagnetic radiation, which can be converted back into sound waves by a receiver like a radio or smartphone.
What station is signal 1?
102.60
What do transponders on aircrafts do?
They do a few different things these days but their primary role is that of radar. The use of radar that flies from a station, hits the aircraft and bounces back to the station is very limited. In most normal situations the ground station sends out a signal. The transponder receives the signal and transmits the return signal. It allows for greater range of the radar and also allows extra info to be passed to the radar controller like height and aircraft ID. This is known as Secondary Radar.
How are signal received in radio station?
transmissions
What is the difference between a wave and signal?
1.wave is a three dimensional object where as signal is a two dimensional object
What does tuning a radio station have to do with resonance?
A signal from a radio station is tuned in a radio receiver by applying the signal to a resonant tuned circuit that accepts the wanted signal while rejecting all the other signals arriving.
How do you measure the frequency of a non-periodic signal?
You see how long it takes for each signal and find the average. Example: 1st: 1second 2nd: 3seconds 3rd: 2seconds. So add all and divide by how many terms (3). 1+3+2=6 6/3= 2. The frequency is 2units. I hope this is right.........
a signal that has been green for a long time is called what?

Transmitting a signal from a ground station to a satellite is called?
uplinking
Transferring a signal from a ground station to a satellite is called?
Uplinking.
Which station's signal has waves with higher energy?
x - rays
