The reason for that is that P-waves (primary waves) travel faster than S-waves (secondary waves).

If we call v_p the speed of the primary waves and v_s the speed of the secondary waves, and we call S the distance of the seismogram from the epicenter, we can write the time the two waves take to reach the seismogram as
t_P =  \frac{S}{v_P}
t_S= \frac{S}{v_S}

So the lag time between the arrival of the P-waves and of the S-waves is
\Delta t = t_S-t_P= \frac{S}{v_S}- \frac{S}{v_P}= S(\frac{1}{v_S}- \frac{1}{v_P})
We see that this lag time is proportional to the distance S, therefore the larger the distance, the greater the lag time.

If a ball takes 12 seconds to hit the ground, how fast was it falling when it hit the ground?
Maru [420]

Answer:

Roughly around 117.6 mph

Explanation

To find out something's speed (or velocity) after a certain amount of time, you just multiply the acceleration of gravity by the amount of time since it was let go of. So you get: velocity = -9.81 m/s^2 * time, or V = gt. The negative sign just means that the object is moving downwards.

WORTH 10 POINTS! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!
Sav [38]

Answer:

The Sun’s magnetic field, solar winds and the Earth's magnetic tail are responsible for making the aurora lights in the north and south poles look different, say international scientists. Researching the interactions of these phenomena have debunked previous theories around why the lights can have different shapes and can occur in different locations. This research also helps scientists to better understand the interactions between the sun and earth, which could help with predicting space weather.

The images output from your new color laser printer seem to be a little too blue. to fix this problem we need to calibrate the printer.

Explanation:

This can be done by opening the toolbox, clicking in the device setting folder their you get print quality page click on it. Under the print quality option click on the calibrate next to calibrate now. Then click OK unless when the 'your request has been sent to the device' appears on the screen. When the calibration ends again try printing. calibrating is useful for managing the proper alignment of the inkjet cartridge nozzle to the paper and each other, without proper calibration the print quality deteriorates.
