<span>Vibration waves from earth quakes travel through the earth and have measurable speed. And the different temperatures and fluidity of the various regions of the mantle will change that speed and or reflect the vibration waves in different directions. With multiple vibration sensors around the world the time that it takes for vibrations to travel from one part of the world to another will tell you what is inside.</span>
Answer:
1.1x10^-2N
Explanation:
We have the change in momentum as
P = 0.3(4.5+12)g.mph
= 0.3x0.447x(4.5+12)x10^-3
Then the force that is exerted will be
F = p/∆t
∆t = 0.2
= 0.3x0.447x(4.5+12)x10^-3/0.2
= 0.1341x16.5x10^-3/0.2
= 1.1x10^-2
Therefore the force that was exerted is equal to 1.1x10^-2
The speed of the snail is given by:

where S is the distance covered by the snail and t the time taken.
The snail in the problem moves by S=18 mm in t=24 s, therefore its speed is
