Problem 2-98 - Linear Kinematics - Part 3 - (a)

A helicopter is traveling horizontally, straight toward a cliff. When 700 m from the cliff, it sends a sonar signal and 3.4 s later receives the reflected signal. Assuming the signal travels at 350 m/s, determine the speed of the helicopter.

Accumulated Solution

\(d = vt\)


Correct.

\(d = vt\)

Calculate how far the signal travels in \(3.4 \;s\) before continuing.
