Question
How far away (in $\mathrm{km}$ ) is an airplane if the radar wave returns to the scanning radar unit in $1.24 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~s} ?$
Step 1
The time taken by the radar wave to return to the scanning radar unit is given as $t = 1.24 \times 10^{-3} \text{ s}$. The speed of the radar wave, denoted as $c$, is given as $3 \times 10^{5} \text{ km/s}$. Show more…
