SCUnderstanding Sound Waves to Solving Time and Distance Problems

[star Wise]

Question:
Assume that a sound pulse travels with a constant velocity of 1,000 meters/second and that point A is separated from point B by a distance of 1,000,000 meters. Compute the time that elapses between the moment the sound pulse is transmitted at point A, strikes the object at B is reflected back, and arrives back at point A.

Velocity = Distance
Time

Time = Distance
Velocity

Distance = velocity*Time

I have the formulas, but what I am really looking for is a book that has these types of questions. Can anyone suggest a good book to answer these types of question.

Thank you.
