The time delay before the echo is heard from the ship is twice the time it takes for the sound to travel from the ship to the cliff and back. This delay can be calculated using the formula: time = distance / speed of sound.
A ship sends sound waves into the water using an echo sounder. The sound waves travel through the water and bounce off the seabed. By measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to return to the ship, the echo sounder can calculate the depth of the water based on the speed of sound in water.
Depth measurements in the sea are done with echo sounders, using an acoustic signal which is reflected off the bottom. Sound travels at about 1.5 km/sec in water. Echo sounders can be quite simple devices for use by yachts in shallow waters, to much more complex equipment used in surveys for geographic purposes. The process is known as Bathymetry and there is a Wikipedia article under this title for more information.
The echo indicates an approximate distance of 1325.2 meters. At 0 degrees Celsius, sound travels at about 331.3 m/sec at sea level, so the sound travelled 2650.4 meters in 8 seconds. Half of that was on the way to the iceberg and half was the return time. * variations with pressure and humidity can affect the ideal speed, and it may range from 331.2 to 331.6 m/second.
The basic reason that a ship floats is that the enclosed volume in the ship's hull is greater than the volume of water which has the same mass as the ship.
Yes, the ship is floating in the water.
The 1960 film "The Wackiest Ship in the Army", a fictional story based on the real-life sailing vessel USS Echo, was filmed on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i, and at Pearl Harbor Naval Station on Oahu.
From what i've heard, no, Footlocker U.K. does not ship to U.S.
Ships use echo soundings to find object, ice bergs and other dangers to the ship wilst at see. Its like bats, the ship sends out a high pitched sound, and detects for echos. If it gets one, it will show up on the radar, and the shipd captain/navigator shall steer around it.
Unfortunately, yes. He dies trying to protect the ship during the Citadel Escape.

No. He is dead cause remember how badly charred his helmet was? And if you have a sharp eye like I do, Echo's helmet was the only thing that was left after that explosion (the ship doesn't count in this case)
Hmmm, if you mean the RMS Titanic, as in the passenger liner that struck an iceburg. It stands for Royal Mail Ship. Otherwise, I have not heard of TSS before. TSS stands for Triple Screw Ship. The Titanic had 3 propellers.
Weather conditions that were unfit for a crossing of the Channel by ship.
Shackleton was the owner of the ship. If you have not heard of him, look him up on the internet. It will be easy because he was reallt famous.
The Apple iWatch is expected to ship later in the year of 2013. The iWatch's anticipated public debut will likely fall in the remainder of 2013. The iWatch is expected to ship without delay by the latter half of this year.
If you bring the vin number and ID to a Toyota dealer ship they can duplicate the key.
