Question

the speed that a tsunami can travel is modeled by the equation mc025-1.jpg , 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? a.0.32 km b.0.75 km c.1.12 km d.3.17 km

Answer 1

o.32

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is a.0.32 km.

The speed that a tsunami can travel is modeled by the equation is s = 356√d.

It is given:
s = 200 km/h
d = ?

Now, let's substitute s in the equation and find d:
s = 356√d
200 = 356√d
√d = 200 ÷ 356
√d = 0.562

Now, let's square both sides of the equation:
(√d)² = (0.562)²
d = (0.562)² = 0.316 ≈ 0.32

Therefore, the approximate depth (d) of water for a tsunami traveling at 200 kilometers per hour is 0.32 km.
