What speed did the World War 2 diesel submarine travel?
U. S. submarines in World War II had a top surface speed of around 20-knots. Submerged, their top speed was around 9-knots, although at that speed they would exhaust their batteries after one hour and have to surface to recharge them.
Is 20 knots fast for a submarine in world war 2?
On the surface, twenty knots is a very good speed (maybe a little too good) for a World War 2 sub. Submerged, speed fell off considerably because the hulls were not streamlined as they were after the war. Only Germany toward the end of the war developed submarines with streamlined hulls which made them very fast when underwater. One of them was a small sumbarine which was powered by hydrogen peroxide (rocket fuel) and it could do twenty knots submerged but was extremely dangerous to operate. The other was diesel-electric with a streamlined hull and other improvements which gave it a submerged speed of sixteen knots, a very fast underwater speed for WW2.
Why did the owners of the Lusitania believe that it could not be sunk by German submarines?
People believed the Lusitania couldn't be sunk by German submarines partly because the Lusitania was the fastest ocean liner at the time (it's top speed was about 23 knots). This speed was fast enough to outrun any German submarine at the time. Submarines from that time period were extremely slow, especially when submerged. Their top speed when submerged was less than 10 knots. By the time a German submarine would aim to shoot a torpedo, people believed the Lusitania would've already outran it and be out of the U-boat's maximum torpedo range.

Are submarines limited in speed while using the periscope?
Only when submerged - on the surface, speed makes no difference. Submerged, anything over 12-15 knots can put undue pressure on the mast and damage it, not to mention significantly increase the chances of being detected.
