A seismographic station receives S and P waves from an earthquake, separated in time by 17.8 s. Assume the waves have traveled o

ver the same path at speeds of 4.50 km/s and 6.90 km/s. Find the distance from the seismograph to the focus of the quake.

Answer:

D = 230.2 Km

Explanation:

let distance between seismograph and focus of quake is D

From time distance formula we  can calculate the time taken by the S wave

T_1 =\frac{D}{4.5}

From time distance formula we  can calculate the time taken by the P wave

T_2 =\frac{D}{6.90}

It is given in equation both waves are seperated from each other by 17.8 sec

so we have

T_1 - T_2 = 17.8sec

Putting both time value to get distance value

\frac{D}{4.5} - \frac{D}{6.90} = 17.8

D = 230.2 Km

What effect does Earth’s spherical shape have on the amount of sunlight that reaches the equator?
vaieri [72.5K]

A

Explanation:

The earth is spherical. So it's middle part is bulgjng outside. So more sunlight will be incident on the latitude near the equator. This will heat the air and it will rise up. This will cause high pressure difference and polar disturbances.

I hope this satisfies you. I hope u will follow me and make this the brainliest answer.

We humans are on track to increase the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere so that the concentration in the future more than double
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Rapid increase in the temperature of the earth.

Explanation:

CO2 is known as a greenhouse gas. It is able to trap and retain infrared radiation in the earths atmosphere thereby causing a gradual rise in the temperature of the earth. If this doubled concentration of CO2 is sustained over a long period of time, it will eventually lead to melting of polar ice caps and consequent flooding. Gradually, the earth would be destroyed due to the scorching heat and attendant flood.

propane, the gas used in barbeque grills, is made of carbon and hydrogen. Will the atoms that make up propane form covalent bond
nirvana33 [79]
<span>Hydrocarbons are molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen.</span> Due to carbon's unique bonding patterns, hydrocarbons can have single, double, or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. The names of hydrocarbons with single bonds end in "-ane," those with double bonds end in "-ene," and those with triple bonds end in "-yne". The bonding of hydrocarbons allows them to form rings or chains.

A cube made Of an unknown material has a height of 9 symeters the mass of this cube is 3645 g. calculate the density of this cub
kherson [118]

Answer: 5 \frac{g}{cm^{3}}

Explanation:

The density \rho of a material is given by:

\rho=\frac{m}{V} (1)

Where:

m=3645 g is the mass of the cube

V is the volume of the cube

Now, the volume of a cube is equal to the length L of its edge to the power of 3:

V=L^{3} (2)

If we know L=9 cm, the volume of this cube is:

V=(9 cm)^{3}=729 cm^{3} (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

\rho=\frac{3645 g}{729 cm^{3}} (4)

\rho=5 \frac{g}{cm^{3}} This is the density of the cube
