Rocks get older as you move away from the water surface
Answer:
342 m/s
Explanation:
The velocity of sound in air is approximated as:
v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 T
where v is the velocity in m/s and T is the temperature in Celsius.
At T = 18:
v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 (18)
v ≈ 342.2
The velocity is approximately 342 m/s.
As the shock waves travel in concentric outward circles from the epicenter, and the diameter is measured 120 miles,
area of a circle =<span>π</span><span>r*r</span>
d=120
<span>r=<span>120/2</span></span><span>r=60</span><span><span>60*60</span>=3600</span><span>3600*π=11309.734</span>
<span>11309.734 square miles</span>
D = 1/2 g t^2. It works out to 44.1 meters.
