let's say you are a police officer, firing a police radar signalthat travels at the speed of light 3.0 x 10 (exponent 8) m/s, theecho is recieved 3.333x 10 (exponenet -6) seconds later, themachine waits 1.728 seconds and fires a second signal. the echo isrecieved in 2.933 x 10 (exponent -6) seconds later find thevelocity of the car in km/h
basically all i need is the formula and explination so i canunderstand how to do this assignment im really,really lost and inthe text book that we have it doesnt explain anything about this..(im in an academic class and our teacher is trying to "prepare" usfor university and is making us use our resources. hopefullysomeone can help me with this question
and one thing i remember is that when changing m/s to km/h you needto divid by 3.6
