We will give you further guidance as needed to help you solve this problem, but you need to show us that you are trying to solve it and not just asking us to do your homework for you.You have not shown any work on the solution. Please try to work on the solution and post your attempts here. We will be happy to help you understand and solve the problem, but we cannot do your homework for you. Show us what you have tried and where you are stuck, and we can guide you from there.

A submarine sends out a pulse of ultrasound to check how close it is to the sea bed. The reflected waves are detected 0.2 seconds later. Work out the total distance traveled by these detected waves. The speed of ultrasound is 1500m/s .

[New user reminded to post schoolwork in the Homework section and show their work on the solution]

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

We can only help you if you show your best efforts to work on the solution. What are the Relevant Equations (involving speed, distance and time)? Can you show how to work with the Relevant Equations to start to figure out this problem?
