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.

Ksivusya [100]
It's not true.

The crucial principle for a scientific experiment is to keep only ONE variable at a time.

In this case, the variable of this experiment is actually the tomato is in sunny part or in shady part, instead of whether applying Ca fertilizer.

Pascal's Principle states that (a) If we apply pressure to a fluid in a sealed container, the pressure will be felt undiminished
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

a) If we apply pressure to a fluid in a sealed container, the pressure will be felt undiminished at every point in the fluid and on the walls of the container.

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area(A2) of the piston.

P=F/A

P1=P2

F1/ A1= F2/ A2

F2= F1* A2/ A1

The pressure acting on one side is transmitted to all the molecules of the liquid because the liquid is incompressible.

In an incompressible liquid, the volume and amount of mass does not vary when pressure is applied.

How many hydrogen atoms are in a water molecule?
earnstyle [38]
The subscript after the element indicates the number of atoms of that element in the molecule. So, in H20, the subscript after the H, which stands for hydrogen, is 2. This means that there are 2 hydrogen atoms in a water molecule.

Hope this helps! :)

What is the value of x in the equation below 1+2e^x+1=9
GuDViN [60]
<h2>Answer: 1.252</h2>

Explanation:

We are given this equation and we need to find the value of x:

1+2e^x+1=9   (1)

Firstly, we have to clear x:

2e^x=9-1-1  

2e^x=7  

e^x=\frac{7}{2}     (2)

Applying<u> Natural Logarithm</u> on both sides of the equation (2):

ln(e^x)=ln(\frac{7}{2})     (3)

xln(e)=ln(\frac{7}{2})     (4)

According to the Natural Logarithm rules xln(e)=x, so (4) can be written as:

x=ln(\frac{7}{2})     (5)

Finally:

x=1.252
