Ultrasound imaging is an important tool in animal medicine. The sketch above shows the setup for imaging a heart inside a dog, with an ultrasound transducer against the dog's torso directed up towards the heart. The ultrasound transducer emits ultrasound at a fixed frequency f. The velocity of sound in the body is v = 1500 m/s. Images are constructed from the time between emitting a pulse and detecting the reflected pulse with the same transducer. If the distance from skin to heart is 7.29 cm, calculate the time between emission and detection. (Units: ms, to 3 sig figs)

A man strikes one end of a thin rod with a hammer. The speed of sound in the rod is 16 times the speed of sound in air. A woman, at the other end with her ear close to the rod, hears the sound of the blow twice with a 0.12 s interval between; one sound comes through the rod and the other comes through the air alongside the rod. If the speed of sound in air is 344 m/s, what is the length of the rod? Number i Units

Earthquakes generate sound waves inside Earth. Unlike a gas, Earth can experience both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves. Typically, the speed of S waves is about 4.79 km/s, and that of P waves 7.51 km/s. A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P waves arrive 3.52 min before the first S waves. If the waves travel in a straightline, how far away does the earthquake occur? Number i Units
