Question

A tsunami is a fast-moving sea wave typically caused by an underwater earthquake. The speed (in meters per second) fd) of a tsunami can be modeled by the through d. below n shown below, where g is a constant approximately equal to 9.8 and d is the average depth (in meters) of the water Use this information to complete parts a a. A given ocean has an average depth of 4150 meters. Estimate the speed in meters per second of a tsunami in this ocean 4150)meters per second Round to the nearest whole number as needed)

Explanation / Answer

f(d) = (gd)^0.5

We need to find speed at the depth of 4150 m

f(4150)= (9.81*4150)^0.5

f(4150)= 201.77
