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.

Respuesta :

Explanation:

It is given that,

A bat flying in a cave emits a sound and receives its echo 0.1 s later, t = 0.1 s

The speed of sound, v = 340 m/s

We need to find the distance between the bat and the cave wall. Distance travelled is given by :

[tex]2d=v\times t[/tex]

[tex]2d=340\ m/s\times 0.1\ s[/tex]

d = 17 meters

It is the total distance between the bat and the cave wall is 17 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

The distance of the cave wall will be d=17 m

What will be the distance of the cave wall?

It is given that

The echo sound comes back to the bat in tine t= 0.1s

Speed of the sound V=340 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

So we have to find the distance traveled by the sound

Since the distance covered by the sound will be double

So

[tex]2d = v\times t[/tex]

By putting the values we get

[tex]2\times d=340\times 0.1[/tex]

[tex]d=17 m[/tex]

Thus the distance of the cave wall will be d=17 m
