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.

How to find acceleration?
Yanka [14]
Acceleration = Change in Velocity / time
 
                a  =  (v - u) / t

Where v = final velocity in m/s              
            u = initial velocity in m/s 
            t = time in seconds.
            a = acceleration in m/s²

A proper record of the changes in velocity with the corresponding time would help find the acceleration.

6. An aircraft is is travelling along a runway at a Velocity of 25m/s in It accelerates at a rate of 4m/s² for a distance of 750
zysi [14]

Answer:

Take-off velocity = v = 81.39[m/s]

Explanation:

We can calculate the takeoff speed easily, using the following kinematic equation.

v_{f}^{2}=v_{i}^{2} +2*a*x

where:

a = acceleration = 4[m/s^2]

x = distance = 750[m]

vi = initial velocity = 25 [m/s]

vf = final velocity

v_{f}=\sqrt{(25)^{2}+(2*4*750) } \\v_{f}=81.39[m/s]

If the relative density of a liquid is 0.34 what is the density of the liquid​
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

<h2>3338.98 kg/m³</h2>

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the relative density of a substance is expressed as

Relative density of a liquid = Density of the liquid /density of water

Given relative density of a liquid = 0.34

Density of water 997kg/m³

Substituting into the formula we have;

Density of the liquid = Relative density of a liquid * density of water

Density of the liquid = 0.34 * 997

Density of the liquid = 3338.98 kg/m³
