There was an accident, and NASA engineers are trying to sort out where two of their Mars Rovers, Tango and Foxtrot, have landed. The engineers know that landing site A is much hotter than landing site B. Unfortunately, the only working sensors on Tango and Foxtrot measure the speed of sound. If Tango measures the speed of sound at its landing site as 240 m/s, while Foxtrot measures speed of sound as 258 m/s at its landing site, where has each rover landed?
140. A series of ocean waves, 5.0 m between crests, move past at 2.0 waves/s. Find their speed.
a. 5.0 m/s
b. 2.5 m/s
c.10 m/s
d.8.0 m/s
A submarine trying to detect an enemy destroyer notes that a sonar signal sent through the water returns 0.40 seconds after it was sent. The frequency of the sonar used by the submarine is 20 kilo-hertz. The speed of sound in sea water is 1.56 x 10^3 meters per second.
a. How far away is the destroyer?
b. The Sonar comouters receive a reflection from the destroyer at a frequency of 19 kilo-hertz. What useful information about the motion of the destroyer does this mean the computer can report?
