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.

Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets are remnants of the early solar system. (T/F)
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets are remnants of the early solar system. This Statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

METEOROID: these are small rocky or metallic objects found in outer space.

ASTEROIDS: these are also known as minor planets of the inner solar system. They are irregularly shaped object in space that orbits the Sun.

COMETS: these are dusty chunk of ice, that moves in a highly elliptical orbit about the sun.

Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets as remnants of the early solar system was further proved in nebular hypothesis

initially proposed in the eighteenth century by German philosopher Immanuel Kant and French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace. (The word nebula means a gaseous cloud.) According to the modern version of the theory, about 4.5 to 5 billion years ago the solar system developed out of a huge cloud of gases and dust floating through space. These materials were at first very thin and highly dispersed.

An older camera has a lens with a focal length of 60mm and uses 34-mm-wide film to record its images. Using this camera, a photo
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

24.71 mm

Explanation:

Distance is proportional to focal length, so

d∝f

which means

\frac{d'_1}{d'_2}=\frac{f_1}{f_2}

Magnification of first lens

M_2=-\frac{d'_1}{d_1}

                   and

M_2=\frac{h'_1}{h_1}

Similarly, magnification of second lens

M_2=-\frac{d'_2}{d_1}

                   and

M_2=\frac{h'_2}{h_1}

From the above equations we get

\frac{M_1}{M_2}=\frac{d'_1}{d_2'}

                   and

\frac{M_1}{M_2}=\frac{h'_1}{h_2'}

which means,

\frac{d'_1}{d_2'}=\frac{h'_1}{h_2'}

and

\frac{d'_1}{d_2'}=\frac{f_1}{f_2}

So, we get

\frac{f_1}{f_2}=\frac{h'_1}{h_2'}\\\Rightarrow f_2=f_1\times\frac{h_2'}{h'_1}\\\Rightarrow f_2=60\times\frac{14}{34}=24.71\ mm

∴ Focal length should this camera's lens is 24.71 mm
