Speed travels 25.5 Km in water in 17 seconds.

Time taken for speed to travel the same distance in air = 75 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed of sound in air is 340 ms–1

Speed of sound in water is 1500 ms–1

(i) Time = 17 seconds

Distance travelled in water = Speed in water * time = 1500 * 17 = 25500 m = 25.5 Km

Speed travels 25.5 Km in water in 17 seconds.

(ii) Speed in air = 340 ms-1; Distance = 255500

Time = Distance / speed = 25500 / 340 = 75 seconds

Time taken for speed to travel the same distance in air = 75 seconds.
