When you are using distance formula you are calculating the length of a right triangle?
Yes when finding the lengths of lines on the Cartesian plane
How do you measure the depth of sea using sonar?
an ultra sound wave is sent by a transmitter when it touches the ocean/sea bed it gets reflected and travels to the detector by using the formula distance=speed X time w e can derive the formula 2d=v X t since the distance is double (the waves travel down and up) v is the speed of sound in water and t is the time taken
What are the units used when measuring the depth of water?
Depth of Water Measurement.Water is measured by many strategies such as a sounding line, depth guages (based on pressure) and by sonar messurement. Before the moden age, sailors would throw lead weighted lines into the water. These were marked off in six foot increment (fathoms) and would call out the depth, or int he old English phrase - sound off, hence the term sounding the depth.Submarines brought a new requirement for depth measurement, the need to know how deep the boat was in the water. Since water has weight, there is a direct correllation to the depth of the water and the pressure outside the submarine. Most depth guages are calibated in feet or meters of seawater as most submarines operate in salt water, which is heavier than fresh (non-salty) water.Modern electronics has now allowed sophisticated measuring devices to bounce waves off the bottom and determine exaclty the depth of water that a boat is in. This is now used on many pleasure and fishing boats as a necessary navigation aid.Satellite detection of water depth is now used to determine changes in fresh water reserves on continents and to determine the changes in climates and geography.
How do you copy a formula using relative and absolute cell addresing?
When copying a formula using absolute cell addressing the formula is left in it's exact stage. No changes are made, not even symbols excluded or included. The formula stays in it's original form. When using relative cell addressing to copy a formula the formula needs to be copied without any types of symbols.
What scientist used sonar to prove seafloor spreading under the Atlantic ocean?
Using sonar, oceanographers were able to show that the edges of the continental shelves matched.
What instrument measure the depth of the ocean using sound waves?
'Sonar". And determines depth. The ocean floor topography can be mapped by 'sonar scanning'.
How do you use depth in a sentence?
The depth of the ocean is found using sonar. Having two eyes allows an animal to have depth perception. Surrounded by eminent professors, the biology teacher felt out of his depth.
What two pieces of information are needed to map the ocean depth using sonar?
speed and sound waves
What is the formula for calculating liquor cost using the purchase method?
NO
What are you caculating using the distance formula?
You are calculating the length of a line segment
How can we measure the depth of sea by using SONAR?
Simply by measuring the time it takes for the sonar 'ping' to return to the device that sent it. The speed of sound is constant - and dividing the time by the speed of sound gives the distance !
Formula for calculating 90 degree elbow?
The formula for calculating the 90 degree elbow is W+R*2*3.14/4*P=Meter Square . The area is computed by using the formula (W+R)_π/4_P.
Do submarines have windows?
Observational ones yes, but not those used in the forces. You cant really see that far at depth, so they 'see' using sonar.
How can you be detected under water when scuba-diving?
Diver can be detected by the air bubble they give off if NOT using a closed circuit rebrether. Additionally they can be detected with sonar as well as a hand held depth sonar type detector but at a limited range.
Can you give me a sentence using the word sonar?
Sonar is an acronym.
What is a mathematical formula and types of formulas?
Mathematical formula are the algebraic expressions which help calculating easily and mathematically instead of going deep and using steps.
What is the formula of calculating weight?
Weight of a body is calculated by using the formula, W= m.g .where m is the mass of the body andg is acceleration due to gravity.
