A bat emits a sonar sound wave
(343 m/s) that bounces off a
mosquito 8.42 m away. How
much time elapses between
when the bat emits the sound
and when it hears the echo?
(Unit = s)

Please help I am very confused with this topic

Respuesta :

The time between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity of sound (v) = 343 m/s

Distance (x) = 8.42 m

Time (t) =?

We can obtain obtained the time as illustrated below:

v = 2x / t

343 = 2 × 8.42 / t

343 = 16.84 / t

Cross multiply

343 ×  t = 16.84

Divide both side by 343

t = 16.84/343

t = 0.05 s

Thus, the time between  when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s
