The longer the time between the arrival of the P-wave and S-wave, the <u>farther away</u> is the epicenter.

<h3>What is epicenter and the relation between P-wave and S-wave?</h3>
  • The point on the earth's surface vertically above the hypocenter (or focus), point in the crust where a seismic rupture begins is said to be epicenter.
  • There are two types of waves during earthquakes, they are:
  1. P - wave
  2. S - wave
  • Each seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive.
  • From the graph, through the information, scientists can determine how fast the waves are traveling.
  • The longer the time between the arrival of the P-wave and S-wave, the farther away is the epicenter.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. how long will it take for 7/8 of a sample of carbon-14 to decay
wlad13 [49]
The half life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years, how many years would it take for 7/8 of the original amount to decay? 

<span>Can somebody please help with this problem. I *think* I understand the basics of what a half life is. If I learned correctly, its the amount it takes for half of a sample to decay. It should also happen exponentially, 1/2 remaining after one half life, 1/4 after the second, 1/16 after the third etc. I'm still a little shaky though. Could somebody please clarify what exactly a half life is and how it can be determined (i.e. how to find the time it would take for 7/8 to decay) </span>

An object in uniform circular motion must be changing its speed in order move in a circular path
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

An object in uniform circular motion must be changing its velocity in order to move in a circular path.

In fact, remind that velocity is a vector which consists of a magnitude (the speed) and a direction.

When an object is moving in uniform circular motion, the direction of the motion is constantly changing (since the trajectory is a circle): so, this means that the velocity is also changing. However, this does not imply that the speed of the object is changing. In fact, in a uniform circular motion, the speed of the object remains constant.
