P-waves travel between 5-8 km/s. As such the epicentre could be anywhere between 1200 and 1920 km away.
3.5 minutes after the earthquake.
Given a city's longitude and latitude coordinates, a relative location can be determined. Orlando lies on 28 degrees, 25 minutes North and 81 degrees 18 minutes West.
The earthquake occurred at 05:46:23 UTC March 11, 2011, or 2:46:23 PM (local time) at epicenter. You can see what time that was in your area in the related links.
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second or 300,000 kilometers per second. It takes sunlight about 13 minutes to reach Mars. It takes about 81/2 minutes to reach Earth.

To calculate the distance to the earthquake epicenter using the S-P interval, we can use the fact that the distance in kilometers is approximately equal to the S-P interval in seconds multiplied by 8. For an S-P interval of 6 minutes and 40 seconds (which is 400 seconds), the distance would be roughly 3,200 kilometers from the epicenter.
It would take approximately 22 minutes for the first s-wave to arrive at a seismic station 4000 kilometers away from the epicenter of an earthquake. S-waves travel at an average speed of about 3.5 kilometers per second through the Earth's crust and mantle.
To calculate distance to the epicenter, first convert the 5-minute lag time to seconds (5 minutes = 300 seconds). Then divide this by 8 to get the distance in kilometers (P waves travel at approximately 8 km/s). Therefore, the distance to the epicenter would be 37.5 km (300 seconds / 8 km/s).
Bill and Amy want to ride thier bikes from their neighbourhood to school which is 14,4 kilometers away.It takes Amy 40 minutes to arrive at school. Bill arrives 20 minutes after Amy. How much faster is Amy's average speed for the entire trip? [in meters/ in second]
S-waves will take 31 seconds P-waves will take 8 minutes
1 hour and 26 minutes until Santa arrives in GA.
14,4oo km away. i think. check calculations to be sure.
60 kilometers in 45 minutes.
The answer will depend on how soon YOU expect it to arrive! If you think that it will take 5 minutes after you complete the transaction, the probability that it arrives earlier is 0 whereas if you expect it to take 5 moths, the probability that it arrives earlier is 1.The answer will depend on how soon YOU expect it to arrive!

Qinghai Earthquake 'The epicenter of the first quake was located 235 miles (380 kilometers) south-southeast of Golmud, a large city in Qinghai, at a depth of six miles (10 kilometers), the USGS said. Ten minutes later, the area was hit by a magnitude 5.3 quake, which was followed after two minutes by a temblor measuring 5.2, according to the U.S. agency. Both the subsequent earthquakes were measured at a depth of 6 miles (10 kilometers). Another quake, measuring 5.8, was recorded at 9:25 a.m.' ( From koat.com/news/23142619/detail.html?treets=alb&tml=alb_natlbreak&ts=T&tmi=alb_natlbreak_1_01140104142010)
