What does velocity of sound in sea water (20°C, 10 m deep) represent?

It is the speed at which acoustic pressure waves travel through seawater at 20°C temperature and 10 meters depth, influenced by temperature, salinity, and pressure.

What is the meaning of the cosmic velocity - second?

The cosmic velocity - second is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape a celestial body's gravitational field without additional propulsion.

Can I use this conversion for any seawater temperature or depth?

No, the velocity of sound value used here is specific to seawater at 20°C and 10 meters depth; other conditions will affect the speed.
