If the squirrel is 48.3 m from the owl, how long does it take sound to travel from the owl to the squirrel and then back to the owl? (Use 343 m/s as the speed of sound in air.)An owl is chasing a squirrel and is using echolocation (the reflection of sound) to aid in the hunt?
Distance equals time multiplied by the rate of travel. (D=RT)
T=D/R
48.3m/343m/s=approx. 0.14 seconds if I've made no mistake.
