I don't like the wording of any of the choices on the list.

SONAR generates a short pulse of sound, like a 'peep' or a 'ping',
focused in one direction.  If there's a solid object in that direction,
then some of the sound that hits it gets reflected back, toward the
source.  The source listens to hear if any of the sound that it sent
out returns to it.  If it hears its own 'ping' come back, it measures
the time it took for the sound to go out and come back.  That tells
the SONAR equipment that there IS a solid object in that direction,
and also HOW FAR away it is.

RADAR works exactly the same way, except RADAR uses radio waves.

A ball rolls from x = - 5m to x = 0m in 1 second . What was its average velocity? (Units = m/s) Don't forget: velocities and dis
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

+ 5 m/s

Explanation:

change in displacement = ΔX=final position - initial position

                                            ΔX = 0-(-5) =0+5 =+ 5 m

average velocity =  ΔX/t

                             = +5/1

                             = + 5 m/s

positive sign shows that ball rolls towards right
