Depends what you read. Without further details, I've read American torpedo, fast ; Russian torpedo very, very fast.

Traditional torpedoes (like those used during WWII) have a speed in water of about 25 to 30 knots (50 km/h).

Experimental modern "supercavitation" torpedoes can travel at speeds up to 200 knots (360 km/h)

Get and post method?

Actually, both are the ways of traveling the data from client machine to server machine.But the difference is that data will travel through GET as a query_string and through POST as a input_string. *Length of query_string is 256 but the length of input_string is unlimited. *GET is fast as compare to POST. *GET is visible POST is invisible.


How fast does sound travel through your ear?

Technically sound is classified as a vibration of the air, so if there is a sound traveling through it, it travels at the speed of sound, which is 768 mph. The inner parts of the ear will be slower. The auditory ossicles are mechanical, so they will delay the sound accordingly, a small fraction of a second. Then when the auditory nerve is stimulated to send its message to the temporal lobe of the brain, it follows a myelinated path along the axons and can travel up to 200 mph.

What energy source could involved a dam?

HEP (hydro-electric project)...Electricity is produced by the fast motion of water turning turbines. Hydro dams can control the speed of the flow of the water, holding water back until the dam can be opened and produce a really fast surge to turn the turbine and make the electric power. Then the owner sells the power for a profit.
