* Primary waves (P-waves) travel at different speeds. The speed of a P-wave depends on the material it's traveling through. P-waves travel faster in denser materials. Per esempio:
* In water, P-waves travel at about 1480 meters per second (m/s).
* In granite, P-waves travel at about 5900 m/s.
* We need to know the medium. To calculate the distance, we need to know what the P-wave is traveling through (water, rock, etc.)
Here's how to calculate the distance:
1. Trova la velocità dell'onda P nel mezzo dato.
2. Convert the time to seconds: 10 minutes * 60 seconds/minute =600 seconds
3. Multiply the speed by the time: distance =speed * time
Esempio:
Let's say the P-wave is traveling through water.
1. Velocità: 1480 m/s
2. Time: 600 seconds
3. Distance: 1480 m/s * 600 seconds =888,000 meters (or 888 kilometers)
Please provide the type of medium the P-wave is traveling through so I can give you a specific answer.
