Use the following formula and information to find the depth of the seafloor:

\[ \text{Depth} = \frac{1}{2} \times T \times 1500 \]

Where \( T \) is the two-way travel time in seconds, depth is in meters, and 1500 is the speed in meters per second.

What is the depth of the seafloor if the two-way travel time is 2.62 seconds?

Answer :

Answer:

The depth of the seafloor is 1965 m if two-way travel time is 2.62 seconds

Explanation:

The formula for depth is,

Depth = 1/2 * T * 1500

If two-way travel time is 2.62 seconds, i.e. T = 2.62s,

Then the Depth is,

Depth = (1/2)(2.62)(1500)

Depth = 1965 m
