Answer:

b. P waves

Explanation:

A P-wave is one of the two main types of elastic body waves, called seismic waves in seismology. P-waves travel faster than other seismic waves and hence are the first signal from an earthquake to arrive at any affected location or at a seismograph. P-waves may be transmitted through gases, liquids, or solids. Primary waves are alternatingly compressional and extensional, and cause the rocks they pass through to change in volume. These waves are the fastest traveling seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Also called P wave. See Note at earthquake. P Waves are compressional which means they move through (compress) a solid or liquid by pushing or pulling similar to the way sound travels through the air. The particles of the material a P Wave pushes through move in the direction of the P wave's energy.

Explanation:

<u>Sales Tax Calculations:</u>

Sales Tax Amount = Net Price x (Sales Tax Percentage / 100)

Total Price = Net Price + Sales Tax Amount

Net Price: $ 7,020.00

object P1 and P2 are in a straight line with the normal to a plane mirror.If P1 and P2 are 18m and 21m away from the mirror. Cal
VARVARA [1.3K]

The distance between object P1 and its image formed is determined as 36 m.

<h3>Distance of the image</h3>

The distance of the image formed by object P1 is calculated as follows;

In a plane mirror; object distance = image distance

image distance of P1 = 18 m

distance between object and image = 18m + 18 m = 36 m

Thus, the distance between object P1 and its image formed is determined as 36 m.
