A bat flying in a cave emits a sound and receives its echo 0.1 s later.
How far away is the cave wall? Assume the speed of sound to be 340 m/s.
Answer in units of m. How do you do this?
d = r*t = 340 * (0.1/2) = 17 m.
nvm i got 17
To find the distance to the cave wall, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed * Time
Given that the speed of sound is 340 m/s and the time delay is 0.1 s, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Distance = 340 m/s * 0.1 s
Calculating this expression:
Distance = 34 m
Therefore, the cave wall is 34 meters away from the bat.
To calculate the distance between the bat and the cave wall, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed * Time
In this case, the speed of sound is given as 340 m/s and the time between emitting the sound and receiving its echo is 0.1 s.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Distance = 340 m/s * 0.1 s
Distance = 34 m
Therefore, the distance between the bat and the cave wall is 34 meters.
