Velocity Of Sound In Sea Water (20°c, 10 Meter Deep)
The velocity of sound in seawater at 20°C and 10 meters depth, approximately 1,480 meters per second.
History/Origin
The measurement of sound velocity in seawater has been essential for underwater acoustics, sonar technology, and marine research since the early 20th century, with values influenced by temperature, salinity, and pressure.
Current Use
Used in oceanography, submarine navigation, and acoustic communication to determine distance, map the seafloor, and study marine environments.
Kilometer/second
A kilometer per second (km/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one kilometer traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The kilometer per second has been used in scientific contexts, particularly in astronomy and physics, to measure high velocities such as the speed of celestial objects and spacecraft. Its usage became prominent with the development of precise measurement techniques in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, km/s is primarily used in astronomy, astrophysics, and space science to describe the velocities of stars, galaxies, and spacecraft. It is also used in scientific research involving high-speed phenomena.
