Radar is used to determine distances to various objects by measuring the round-trip time for an echo from the object.

(a) How far away is the planet Venus if the echo time is 1500 s?

(b) What is the echo time for a car 77.0 m from a Highway Patrol radar unit?

(c) How accurately (in nanoseconds) must you be able to measure the echo time to an airplane 12.0 km away to determine its distance within 11.0 m?
