Description

Speed of Sound in Seawater

The speed of sound in seawater, approximately 1521.6 m/s at 20°C and 10 meters depth, is faster than in pure water due to increased salinity and pressure. This speed plays a crucial role in oceanographic studies, naval sonar systems, and undersea communications, providing accurate depth and distance measurements.

First Cosmic Velocity (v1) – Orbital Threshold

The first cosmic velocity, about 7900 m/s, is the minimum speed an object must reach to maintain a stable orbit around the Earth without additional propulsion. This velocity is foundational in satellite launches and orbital mechanics, marking the beginning of sustained space travel.
