1. The first page of the first study in this unit talks about some time-delay
tricks using the Rate Formula for Distance (Distance = Rate x Time). In
these cases, you explored how multiplication can be used to find the
location of a thunderstorm, underwater objects, and your position on Earth.

In each of these scenarios, a "timer" is required to tell you the number of
seconds it takes for a signal or echo to arrive. Do you think the precision of
1.5
the timer affects the ability to correctly pinpoint an exact location? For
example, would a stopwatch that shows time to the hundredths of a
second be better than a stopwatch showing just seconds? Why or why not?
You might want to prove your staternent with a specific example using both
stopwatches. For example, consider the speed of light, which is 186,282
miles per second. -
