<h3>Answer:</h3>

7.838 seconds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Assuming the sound of sound in seawater is 1531 m/s we can calculate the time taken by the signal to leave the ship and back.
  • The depth to the bottom is 6000 meters
  • The sound signal will cover the distance twice, to and fro the bottom to the ship.
  • Time is calculated by dividing the distance by the velocity or speed.

In this case;

Time = (2× distance) ÷ velocity

        = (2×6000) m ÷ 1531 m/s

        = 12000 m ÷ 1531 m/s

        = 7.838 s

Therefore, it will take 7.838 s for the sound signal to leave the ship and bounce back off and return to the ship.

iogann1982 [59]
<span>This would be the atomic mass. In an atom of carbon-12, there are 6 protons and 6 neutrons at rest (electrons have a negligible mass and are usually not part of the overall mass calculation). All atomic masses are based off the measurements of this specific iteration of carbon.</span>
