    Rock Wavelengths
AI Thread Summary
A submarine sonar system emits a 325 Hz sound wave that reflects off an underwater rock face, returning in 8.50 seconds. The wavelength of the sound wave is 4.71 meters, leading to a calculated speed of 1530.75 m/s. After realizing the return time must be halved to 4.25 seconds, the distance to the rock face is determined to be 6.51 x 10^3 meters. The discussion also includes a note on formatting equations correctly in the forum. The participant resolves their initial confusion due to a calculator error.

1. A submarine sonar system sends a burst of sound with a frequency of 325 Hz. The sound waves bounces off an underwater rock face and returns to the submarine in 8.50s. if the wavelength of the sound wave is 4.71 m, how far away is the rock face? The answer is 6.51 x 10^3m.



I keep trying this question different ways but the only thing that I believe I'm doing correct so far is:
v=f\lambda
v=(325Hz)(4.71m)
v=1530.75m/s
I also know that 8.50s must be divided in two, so that it will equal 4.25s.
Than I go to solve how far away is the rock...
v=\lambda/T
\lambda=vT
\lambda= (1530.75m/s)(4.25s)
\lambda= 6505
Never mind i figured out that i made a calculator error. Sorry ):

Glad it worked out. Welcome to Physics Forums!

By the way, if you use [noparse]instead of [/noparse], it won't put the symbol on a new line all by itself. Or, for "λ", you can just copy-and-paste from the symbols list at the bottom of this post.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
