Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.

Explanation:

P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake,  the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.

Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.

Two tiny, spherical water drops, with identical charges of −8.00 ✕ 10^(−17) C, have a center-to-center separation of 2.00 cm.
Damm [24]

Answer:

F=1.4384×10⁻¹⁹N

Explanation:

Given Data

Charge q= -8.00×10⁻¹⁷C

Distance r=2.00 cm=0.02 m

To find

Electrostatic force

Solution

The electrostatic force between between them can be calculated from Coulombs law as

F=\frac{kq^{2} }{r^{2} }

Substitute the given values we get

F=\frac{(8.99*10^{9} )*(-8.00*10^{-17} )^{2} }{(0.02)^{2} }\\ F=1.4384*10^{-19} N
