We are given following data:

v=1500 m/sv=1500\text{ m/s}
d=3 km=3000 md=3\text{ km}=3000\text{ m}

To find the time it takes for the undersea sonar pulse to travel 3 km, we can use the formula:

t=dtt=\dfrac{d}{t}

Substituting our values in, we get:

t=dt=30001500=2 st=\dfrac{d}{t}=\dfrac{3000}{1500}=\boxed{2\text{ s}}

Therefore, it takes 2 seconds for an undersea sonar pulse to travel a distance of 3 km.
