A motion sensor acts as a transmitter when it sends out pulses and as a receiver when it listens for echoes. The delay ∆t between sending the pulse and receiving the echo is equal to 8.9 ms. The air temperature is equal to 20º C. Part A What is the distance between the motion sensor and the object?

    1.526 m

    Explanation:

    The motion sensor sends sound waves in air which travels at a speed of 343 m per second at 20 degree. If d be the distance of the reflecting object

    total distance travelled = 2d

    Time taken t = 8.9 x 10⁻³ s

    velocity v = 2d / t

    343 = 2 d / (8.9 x 10⁻³)

    d = 1.526 m
