Shock Waves

Shock waves are common in continuum mechanics, and their dominance is attributable to the fact that they are stronger (or even less) compressible. Substantial perturbations propagated as sudden dynamic changes of a compressible medium supersonically. Shock waves are all around us in our daily lives. Lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impact all produce them in nature. Even the earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, generates a shock wave as in solar wind that travels around 20 Earth radiuses. These shock waves might be either constant, linked to the body, or unsteady, i.e., moving around with time. All of the shocks mentioned above can be damaging, so precautions must be taken to reduce their impact.

Earthquakes at fault lines in the Earths crust create seismic waves, which are longitudinal (P waves) or transverse (S waves). The P waves have a speed of about 7 km/s. Estimate the average bulk modulus of the Earths crust given that the density of rock is about 2 500 kg/m3.
With this question: Ocean waves are observed to travel along the water surface during a developing storm. A Coast Guard weather station observes that there is a vertical distance from high point to low point of 4.6 meters and a horizontal distance of 8.6 meters between adjacent crests. The waves splash into the station once every 6.2 seconds. Determine the frequency and the speed of these waves. how would you draw the diagram here is mine, but I don't think it's quite correct.
Sailors use the following function f to estimate the wave height h, in feet, from wind speed w, in miles per hour: h = f(w) = 0.02w2.045 Explain what the answer means in terms of wave height and wind speed Suppose a sailor observes that the wave height is about 11 feet. According to the formula, what would be the speed of the wind?
Suppose an ocean wave under fairly calm conditions has a height of 1/3 meter and carries a power of 500 watts for every meter along the length of the swell. These are typical values for a calm day at sea. How much more energy would be carried by the waves that are 3 meters high (10 feet!) in a stormy sea? 81 times more energy 9 times more energy 730 times more energy the same energy
please asap Earthquake S waves have a speed of 3000 m/s. P waves have a speed of 5000 m/s. P waves are detected 2.58 minutes before S waves by aseismograph. How far is the earthquake's epicenter from the seismograph? Options: a 1.06 x 10^6 m b 2.5 x 10^6 m c 1.3 x 10^6 m d 1.16 x 10^6 m
An earthquake emits primary waves moving at 8.0 km/s and secondary waves moving at 5.0 km/s. How far from the epicentre of the earthquake is the seismic station if the two waves arrive at the station 2.0 min apart?
(a) Seismographs measure the arrival times of earthquakes with a precision of 0.100 s. To get the distance to the epicenter of the quake, they compare the arrival times of S- and P-waves, which travel at different speeds. If S- and P-waves travel at 4.00 and 7.20 km/s, respectively, in the region considered, how precisely can the distance to the source of the earthquake be determined? (b) Seismic waves from underground detonations of nuclear bombs can be used to locate the test site and detect violations of test bans. Discuss whether your answer to (a) implies a serious limit to such detection. (Note also that the uncertainty is greater if there is an uncertainty in the propagation speeds of the S- and P-waves.)
