2000 km
How far does secondary wave travel in 10 minutes?
2000 km
How far does a secondary wave travel in 10 mins?

How far does a primary wave travel 10 min?
You need to multiply the speed of the wave by the time. You may also need to convert the units, to make them compatible. For instance, if the speed of the wave is expressed in meters per second, you would need to convert the minutes to seconds.
How far would an S wave travel in 45 seconds?
in about three miles
When the particles of the medium are far apart that part of the wave is called a?
That is a primary or compressional wave. It is called compressional because the particles move toward and away from each other. It is called a primary wave because it arrives first. Sound waves in water or air are examples of primary waves. The other type of wave is a secondary or shear wave. It is called secondary because it travels more slowly and arrives later than a primary wave. It is called a shear wave because the particles move at right angles to the direction of wave motion. The side-to-side motion of a Slinky is an example of a shear wave. The other, other type of wave is a tertiary wave, which is a channeled saound wave trapped in the SoFAR channel in the ocean. Because this is typically the third type of wave identified on seismograms, this is also known as a tertiary wave or "t-phase". Love Waves and Rayleigh waves are special cases of mixed-mode waves that travel along the surface of the Earth.
A longitudinal wave with a wavelength of 0.57 meter has a period of 0.25 second. How far does the wave travel in 33 seconds?
It travels 2.28 metres.
How far would a sound wave travel in 1 second?

What is the difference between a primary wave and a secondary wave?
Primary seismic waves (also called P-waves) are a type of ground motion most commonly associated with earthquakes, though the waves are also caused by large explosions (nuclear tests) and would be expected from an asteroid impact. For a primary seismic wave, the motion of the ground is caused by a series of compressions and decompressions in which the ground at any point is moving on an axis which passes through the epicenter, while each individual wave front is spherical around the epicenter. Since solids (such as rock) are not readily compressible by significant amounts, the vibratory movement is very slight and the wave travels very rapidly. As a consequence, P-waves travel faster than Secondary waves (S-waves) also generated by the same seismic event. Consequently, P-waves are the source of the deep rumbling sound which can be heard at the beginning of an earthquake just before the far more destructive S-waves arrive.
How far in terms of wave length does a wave travel in one period?
A wave period is the time for one complete cycle; therefore, a period is the same as one wavelength
