Calculate the distance to the ocean floor if sound traveling at 1500 meters per second makes the round trip to the bottom and back in 10 seconds.

A. 7500 meters
B. 150,000 meters
C. 15 meters
D. 150 meters

Answer :

Answer:

7500

Explanation:

Answer:

7500 m

Explanation:

The speed is the same both directions, so the sound takes 5 seconds to reach the bottom and 5 seconds to return to the surface.

Distance = speed × time

d = (1500 m/s) (5 s)

d = 7500 m
