By the velocity, the interval time after the p wave arrived is 6 seconds.

We need to know about velocity to solve this problem. Velocity can be determined as the distance traveled divided by time interval. It can be written as

v = s / t

where v is velocity, s is distance and t is the time interval.

From the question above, we know that.

vp = 5000 m/s

vs = 3000 m/s

s = 45 km = 45000 m

Determine the time taken by p wave

tp = s / vp

tp = 45000 / 5000

tp = 9 seconds

Determine the time taken by s wave

ts = s / vs

ts = 45000 / 3000

ts = 15 seconds

The time interval after p waves is

interval time = ts - tp

interval time = 15 - 9

interval time = 6 second

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

1.5 * 10^-2 Tm^2

Explanation:

Electric Flux = B.A cos(theta)

B = 0.055 T

A = 0.32 m^2

theta = 30

Electric Flux = (0.055 T).(0.32 m^2).Cos(30) = 0.0152 = 1.5 * 10^-2 Tm^2

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The the analysis for the free fall part should be done under the constant acceleration.

Explanation:

In the given problem, the jumper is falling under the free fall. Since, no external force is acting on the body therefore, the fall will be under the action gravity only. also, the acceleration due to gravity is always constant.

Therefore, the the analysis for the free fall part should be done under the constant acceleration.
