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.

How echoes are used by a ship to find the depth of water?

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.


Which energy is used to measure the depth of the sea?

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 of a ship's fog horn reflected from an iceberg is heard 8.0 seconds after the horn is sounded How far away is the iceberg?

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 reason a ship floats is because?

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.


The ship is in the water?

Yes, the ship is floating in the water.

What does an echo sounder do to a ship?

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.
