In a solid such as rock, the primary wave can travel at 5 km/sec; it would take 400 seconds, or about 6.7 minutes to travel 2,000 km. If traveling through water, the wave travels at about 1.45 km/sec and would need 1,379 seconds (23 minutes) to travel 2,000 km.

Between 333.33 seconds and 153.85 seconds.

An S-wave travels at 3.5 kilometers per second. If you have an S-wave traveling 6000 kilometers, it would take 1.7seconds.
The speed of secondary waves (S-waves) in the Earth's crust is typically about 3 to 4.5 kilometers per second. To calculate the time it takes for an S-wave to travel 2000 kilometers, you can use the formula: time = distance/speed. For instance, at an average speed of 4 km/s, it would take approximately 500 seconds, or about 8.3 minutes, for the wave to travel that distance.
9,000 miles
Sound travels at approximately 1500 m/s in water. So, it would take about 2 seconds for a sound wave to travel through 3000 m of water.
2000 km
To determine how long it takes a wave to travel 5000 km, you need to know the wave's speed. For example, if the wave travels at a speed of 300 m/s (typical for sound in air), it would take approximately 16.67 hours to cover that distance. If the wave travels faster, say at 1500 m/s (typical for sound in water), it would take about 3.47 hours. Therefore, the time depends on the specific speed of the wave in question.
The speed of sound in water is approximately 1500 m/s. Therefore, it would take approximately 0.2 seconds for a sound wave to travel through 300 meters of water.
I believe you should review the speed of the wave the medium through which it is traveling and whether or not you have already been given all the information you need to answer.
P-waves travel at speeds between 5 to 8 km/s, as such a P-wave may take between 812 and 1300 seconds (13 and 22 minutes respectively) to travel 6500 km. Please see the related question on P-wave velocity.
