The time taken for the first p-wave to reach the same seismic station is approximately 13 minutes.

<h3>Time of travel of the P-wave</h3>

In rock, S waves generally travel about 60% the speed of P waves, and the S wave always arrives after the P wave.

<h3>Relationship between speed and time</h3>

v ∝ 1/t

v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

t₁/t₂ = v₂/v₁

t₁/t₂ = 0.6v₁/v₁

t₁/t₂ =  0.6

t₁ = 0.6t₂

t₁ = 0.6 x 22 mins

t₁ = 13.2 mins

Thus, the time taken for the first p-wave to reach the same seismic station is approximately 13 minutes.

A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. At one instant, its electric field has a magnitude of 9.6 V/m and points eastwar
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The values is  B  = 3.2 *10^{-8} \  T

The  direction is out of the plane

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  magnitude of the electric field is  E  =  9.6 \  V/m

 

The  magnitude of the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

       B  = \frac{E}{c}

where c is the speed of light with value

      B  = \frac{ 9.6}{3.0 *10^{8}}

     B  = 3.2 *10^{-8} \  T

Given that the direction off the electromagnetic wave( c ) is  northward(y-plane ) and  the electric field(E) is eastward(x-plane ) then the magnetic field will be acting in the out of the page  (z-plane  )

If the pendulum is brought on the moon where the gravitational acceleration is about g/6, approximately what will its period now
Andru [333]

Answer:

The new period will be √6 *T

Explanation:

period ,T=2π√(L/g)       ................equation 1

where T is the period on earth

gravitational acceleration on the moon is g/6

T1 = 2π√[L/(g/6)]

T1=2π√(6L/g)               ...............equation 2

divide equation 2 by 1

T1/T =2π√(6L/g)÷2π√(L/g)

T1/T =√(6L/L)

T1/T =√6

T1 = √6 *T

When an average force F is exerted over a certain distance on a shopping cart of mass m, its kinetic energy increases by 1/2 mv2
agasfer [191]
W work
F force 
s distance

If F = constant:

W₁ = F·s

If you triple the force and the distance:

W₂ = 3F · 3s = 9 F·s = 9 W₁

The ability to clearly see objects at a distance but not close up is properly called ________. The ability to clearly see object
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Hyperopia

Explanation:

     In hyperopia ,people face difficulties  to see close up object , but can see object easily which are at a distance.

The main reason of hyperopia is our eyeball.When our eyeball become too  short , then light focus behind the retina. Sowe will face problem to see near object but we can see distance object easily. Hyperopia is the opposite of nearsightedness. Hyperopia can be corrected by using contact lenses.

Two blocks of masses 20 kg and 8.0 kg are connected togetherby
OleMash [197]

Answer:

14 N

Explanation:

The tension in the second string is puling both the masses of 20 kg and 8 kg with acceleration of 0.5 m s⁻²

So tension in the second string = total mass x acceleration

= 28 x .5 = 14 N . Ans..
