Answer:

the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the wave, v = 1500 m/s

time of motion of the wave, t = 15 s

The time taken to receive the echo is calculated as;

$time \ of \ motion \ (t) = \frac{total \ distance }{speed \ of \ wave} = \frac{2d}{v} \\\\2d = vt\\\\d = \frac{vt}{2} \\\\d = \frac{1500 \times 15}{2} \\\\d = 11,250 \ m$

Therefore, the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Car B is rounding the curve with a constant speed of 54 km/h, and car A is approaching car B in the intersection with a constant speed of 72 km/h. The x-y axes are attached to car B. The distance separating the two cars at the instant depicted is 40 m. Determine: the angular velocity of Bxy rotating frame (ω).

Answer:

the angular velocity of Bxy rotating frame (ω) is 0.15 rad/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and image below and as illustrated in the second image;

distance S = 40 m

V $_B$ = 54 km/hr
