Question

The speed that a tsunami can travel is modeled by the equation , where s is the speed in kilometers per hour and d is the average depth of the water in kilometers. What is the approximate depth of water for a tsunami traveling at 200 kilometers per hour?.

Answer 1

The approximate depth of water for a tsunami traveling at 200 kilometers per hour, given the equation S=356√d, where S is the speed in kilometers per hour and d is the average depth of the water in kilometers, is 0.32 km. Hence, option A is the correct choice.

To solve for the average depth of water, when the water is traveling at 200 kilometers per hour, we substitute speed S = 200, in the relation S = 356√d.

This will be solved in the following way:

S = 356√d,

or, 200 = 356√d {Substituting S = 200},

or, 200/356 = (356√d)/356 {Dividing both sides by 356},

or, √d = 0.5618 {Simplifying},

or, d = 0.32 kilometers.

Therefore, the approximate depth of water for a tsunami traveling at 200 kilometers per hour, given the equation S=356√d, where S is the speed in kilometers per hour and d is the average depth of the water in kilometers, is 0.32 km. Hence, option A is the correct choice.
