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.

If the gymnast mass were doubled, her height (h) from the top of the board would be as follows,

с  Stay the same

Explanation:

  • The Mass of an object or body does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any kind of way.
  • Light weight objects accelerate more slowly than the heavy objects because when the forces other than the gravity also plays a major role.
  • Mass increases of a body when an object has higher velocity or the speed.
  • The greater the force of gravity, it would give a direct impact on the object's acceleration; thus considering only a force, the heavier the object is, it would accelerate faster. But an acceleration depends upon the two factors which are  force and mass.
  • Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the two factors which are, the net force of an object and the mass of the object.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

m v1 = (m + M) v2

v2 = m v1 / (m + M)

v2 = 7 * 74 / (74 + 65)

3.73 m/s

74 kg is too heavy for the cannonball (over 150 lbs)
