The longer the time between the arrival of the P-wave and S-wave, the <u>farther away</u> is the epicenter.
<h3>
What is epicenter and the relation between P-wave and S-wave?</h3>
- The point on the earth's surface vertically above the hypocenter (or focus), point in the crust where a seismic rupture begins is said to be epicenter.
- There are two types of waves during earthquakes, they are:
- P - wave
- S - wave
- Each seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive.
- From the graph, through the information, scientists can determine how fast the waves are traveling.
- The longer the time between the arrival of the P-wave and S-wave, the farther away is the epicenter.
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

a tendency of a body to do nothing or to remain unchanged.
Answer:
A. 2.8 m/s
Explanation:
Suppose that at the height of 0 m, the path of the pendulum is lowest.
If we use law of conservation of energy, the pendulum will have zero kinetic energy or K.E when it is at highest point, because K.E happens during movement of object and at the highest point all the energy will be P.E
P.E= mgh
Similarly, when the pendulum reaches at the lowest point, the height becomes zero and the P.E also becomes zero. Now all the energy will be K.E
K.E= 1/2 m v^2
In question, we are asked about the speed as the pendulum it reaches the lowest point of its path. Like we mentioned P.E will be zero at lowest point because of zero height. And also we will use law of conservation of energy because no energy has been lost from system.
K.E= P.E
1/2 m v^2 = mgh
Taking sq.root at both sides
v= Under root 2 gh
v=Under root 2x 9.8 m/s x0.4 m
v=Under root 7.84
v=2.8 m/sec
Hope it helps!
no. the race care is at a constant speed. its staying the same speed.
