Typical values for P-wave velocities within the Earth are between 5 and 8 km/s.
However the velocity is dependent on the elastic properties and density of the material through which the wave is travelling.
The P-Wave velocity (VP) can be found using the following:
VP = Sqrt((K+ (4/3 x G)) /P)
Where:
K = Bulk modulus
G = Shear modulus
P = Density

What waves travel through rock with the greatest velocity?

What is the average velocity of an earthquakes s wave in its first 4 minutes of travel?
The average velocity of an earthquake's S-wave (secondary wave) typically ranges from about 3.5 to 7 km/s, depending on the geological materials it travels through. In the first 4 minutes of travel, the S-wave can cover a significant distance, but the exact average velocity would depend on the specific characteristics of the medium. Generally, if we take a midpoint velocity of around 4.5 km/s, the S-wave could travel approximately 1,800 kilometers in that time.
Is there any particles whose velocity is greater than photon particles?
Possibly neutrinos are . . . scientists right now are thinking that neutrinos travel faster than light (photons)
How does mass effect velocity?
It doesn't. But velocity does effect mass : as velocity increases, mass increases.
What will be the velocity of a satellite which is revolving around the earth in a circular orbit the radius R if the radius is increased from R to RR what will be the velocity?
the velocity will be velocity divided by square root of 2
How do you measure Velocity-?
velocity = distance travelled/time taken to travel that distance
Can the speed of a body change if its velocity is changed?
Simly stated, velocity is speed in a defined direction. If you travel 5mph north, the speed is the same as if you travel 5mph east, but the velocity is different.
What does velocity means?
If you have no velocity, then you aren't moving.
What is the relationship between the velocity of an object and the time t it takes to travel a certain distance?
The relationship between the velocity of an object and the time it takes to travel a certain distance is that the velocity of an object is directly proportional to the time it takes to travel a certain distance. This means that as the velocity of an object increases, the time it takes to travel a certain distance decreases, and vice versa.
What does travel velocity mean?
"Travel velocity could have two definitions. Travel Velocity is a web page that advertises and sells discounted airline, hotel, and other travel deals. Secondly, a general reference to travel velocity is the speed at which sound or light travels in relation Physics."
What is the definition of Pwaves?
A Pwave is the first wave to arrive during an earthquake, P waves compress and then expand. They can damage buildings.
What is the velocity if you travel 3km in 0.5 hours?
6kph
What is the definition velocity?
Speed plus the direction of travel.
What is the velocity if you travel 882 ft in 5 seconds?
Assuming that you travel 882 feet in a straight line, the average velocity is 882.5 = 176.4 feet per second.
What is the speed and direction of travel called?
Speed and direction of travel are typically referred to as velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed of an object and the direction in which it is moving.
What is the change in velocity divded by the time taken to travel the distance?
Change of velocity / time = average acceleration.
The velocity of a sound wave travel though the air is approximately?
Velocity of sound in air is 324m/s.
