In Physics, 'work' has a very clear definition:
It's (strength of a force) times (distance through which the force acts).
'Work' has the units of Energy.
If you push against a shopping cart with 30 newtons of force, and
you keep pushing while the cart moves 4 meters, then you have
done (30 x 4) = 120 newton-meters of work = 120 "Joules".
Answer:
The floor of the ocean is 6120 m deep.
Explanation:
In order to find the depth of the ocean we need to use the speed of the ultrasonic sound 1530 m/s and the time it takes for the echo to comeback. Since the wave is transmitted by the vessel goes to the bottom of the ocean and comeback, it travels the distance between the vessel and the floor two times, so we can divide the time by two. We then have:
D = V*t/2 = 1530*8/2 = 1530*4 = 6120 m
