3. Other names for S- waves are secondary waves, shear waves, and sometimes elastic S-waves. Other names for P-waves are primary waves and compressional waves.
4. You need 3 stations, because scientists find the difference between the arrival times of the primary and the secondary waves at each of the 3 stations, then the time difference is used to determine the distance of the epicentre from each station. The greater the difference in time, the further away the epicentre is. A circle is drawn around each station, with a radius corresponding to the epicentre’s distance from that station. The point where the three circles meet is the epicentre. If you only had two stations, you could only predict the epicentre, as the point where all three circles meet wouldn’t be complete, you’d have to try and estimate where the third one would intercept. This would greaten the chance of error and isn’t as accurate.

Answer:
i added this table for some help
Explanation:
here are some examples
<u>metals:</u>They are hard and shiny, strong, and easy to shape. They are used for many industrial purposes. This group includes iron, gold, silver, chromium, nickel, and copper, some of which are also noble metals.
<u>non-metals:</u>a chemical element (as boron, carbon, or nitrogen) that lacks the characteristics of a metal and that is able to form anions, acidic oxides, acids, and stable compounds with hydrogen.
<u>metalloids:</u>Physical properties are usually those that can be observed using our senses such as color, luster, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, density, hardness and odor. Metalloids have mixed properties which are difficult to characterize.
Answer:
The new volume of a gas at 750 mmhg and with a volume of 2. 00 l when allowed to change its volume at constant temperature until the pressure is 600 mmhg is 2.5 Liters.
Explanation:
Boyle's law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume at constant temperature. It is written as;
P ∝ V
P V = K
P1 V1 = P2 V2
Parameters :
P1 = Initial pressure of the gas = 750 mmHg
V1 = Initial pressure of the gas = 2. 00 Liters
P2 = Final pressure of the gas = 600 mmHg
V2 = Fimal volume of the gas = ? Liters
Calculations :
V2 = P1 V1 ÷ P2
V2= 750 × 2. 00 ÷ 600
V2 = 1500 ÷ 600
V2 = 2.5 Liters.
Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 2. 5 Liters.
Half-life is defined as the amount of time it takes a given quantity to decrease to half of its initial value. The equation to describe the decay is
Nt=N0(1/2)
where N0 is the initial quantity, Nt is the remaining quantity after time t, t1/2 is the half-time. So work out the equation, t1/2 = t (-ln2)/ln(Nt/N0) = 11.5*(-ln2)/ln(12.5/100) = 3.83 days
