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 high diver dives into a swimming pool. His potential energy at the top is 10,000 J (relative to the surface of the pool). What
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of diver at 90% of the distance to the water is 9000 J

Explanation:

Let d is the distance between the position of the diver and surface of the pool.

Initially, the diver is at rest and only have potential energy which is equal to 10000 J.

As the diver dives towards the pool, its potential energy is converting into kinetic energy due to law of conservation of energy, as total energy of the system remains same.

Energy before diving = Energy during diving

(Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy) =  (Kinetic Energy +  Potential Energy)

When the diver reaches 90% of the distance to the water, its kinetic energy

is 90% to its initial potential energy, as its initial kinetic is zero,i.e.,

K.E. = \frac{90}{100}\times10000

K.E. = 9000 J

An auditorium measures 43.0m × 18.0m × 15.0m. The density of air is 1.20 kg/m3. What is the volume of the room in cubic feet? (D
frez [133]
The question here would be what is the volume of the room. The density of air that is given has no use. We simply multiply the dimensions given of the room to determine  the volume.

<span>43.0m × 18.0m × 15.0m = 11610m^3 ( 3.28 ft / 1 m)^3 = 4.09 x 10^5 ft^3</span>

Jupiter and Saturn each have the same three basic cloud layers, but the spacing of the layers differs on the two planets. Why is
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

b. Jupiter’s greater gravity has compressed the layers, so they are closer together there.

Explanation:

The value for Jupiter mass is 1.8981×10²⁷kg, while the mass of Saturn is 5.6832×10²⁶kg, so the different layers of clouds in Jupiter will be submitted to a greater gravitational pull because it has a bigger mass, as is established in the law of universal gravitation:

F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2}}   (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of two objects, G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between the two objects.

As it can be seen in equation 1, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects, so if the mass increase the gravitational force will do it too.  

For the case of Saturn, it has a lower mass so its layers of clouds will suffer a weaker gravitational pull. That leads to the three clouds being more spacing that the ones of Jupiter.
