Question
I got parts A and B correct, but my answer for part C is wrong. Need help with part C pls.

Transcribed Image Text:Constants I Periodic Table
A motion sensor can accurately measure the distance d
to an object repeatedly via the sonar technique. (Older
autofocusing cameras determine the distance by emitting
a pulse of very high frequency (ultrasonic) sound that
travels to the object being photographed, and include a
sensor that detects the returning reflected sound, as
shown in the figure.) (Figure 1) A short ultrasonic pulse is
emitted and reflects from any objects it encounters,
creating echo pulses upon their arrival back at the
sensor. The sensor measures the time interval t between
the emission of the original pulse and the arrival of the

Assume that during a lab period the room's temperature increases from 20°C to 24 °C. What percent error will this
introduce into the motion sensor's distance measurements?

Part A
The smallest time interval t that can be measured with high precision is 1.2 ms . What is the smallest distance (at 20
°C) that can be measured with the motion sensor?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Part B
Аutofocusing сатera
If the motion sensor makes 13 distance measurements every second (that is, it emits 13 sound pulses per second at
evenly spaced time intervals), the measurement of t must be completed within the time interval between the
emissions of successive pulses. What is the largest distance (at 20° C) that can be measured with the motion
sensor?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
