a) Chicago: 3 min, Savannah: 4 min, Seattle: 4 min

b) Chicago: 1800 km, Savannah and Seattle: 2600 km

c) Using the intersection between the 3 circles

Explanation:

a)

In this part, we want to find the difference in arrival time between P waves and S waves for each city.

For Chicago, we have:

- P waves arrival time: 3 min, 40 s

- S waves arrival time: 6 min, 40 s

So the difference in arrival time is:

\Delta t = 6 min, 40 s - 3 min, 40 s = 3 min = 180 s

For Savannah, we have:

- P waves arrival time: 4 min, 50 s

- S waves arrival time: 8 min, 50 s

So the difference in arrival time is:

\Delta t = 8 min, 50 s - 4 min, 50 s = 4 min = 240 s

For Seattle, we have:

- P waves arrival time: 2 min, 55 s

- S waves arrival time: 6 min, 55 s

So the difference in arrival time is:

\Delta t = 6 min, 55 s - 2 min, 55 s = 4 min = 240 s

b)

Here we want to find the distance of each city from the epicentre of the earthquake.

In order to do that, for each city we have to take the difference in arrival time between P waves and S waves, look at the corresponding value in the graph (y-value), and then check what is the corresponding value on the x-axis, which gives the distance from the epicentre.

For chicago, we know that

\Delta t = 3 min

Interpolating the graph, we see that a time difference of 3 min corresponds approximately to a distance of 1800 km from the epicentre.

For Savannah and Seattle, we know that

\Delta t = 4 min

Interpolating the graph, we see that a time difference of 4 min corresponds approximately to a distance of 2600 km from the epicentre.

c)

The information from 3 different cities can be used to determine the exact location of the earthquake's epicentre.

In fact, we now know the distance of the epicentre of the earthquake from each city.

If we only have this information from 1 city, we would only be able to draw a circle with centre in the city and radius equal to the distance from the epicentre, and each point along the circle would be a potential location for the epicentre.

If we had informations from 2 cities, we could draw 2 circles each centered on one city, and we would have two intersections between the two circles, which would give us 2 potential locations of the epicenter.

Instead, if we have 3 cities, we can draw 3 circle, and there is only 1 point of intersection between the 3 circles: that point is the location of the epicenter.

Describe how magnetic forces and electric forces are similar and different from each other
PtichkaEL [24]

<em>ANSWER:</em>

Objects that have the same charge, both positive or both negative, repel each other, and those with opposite charges attract each other. ... Similar to electric charges, opposite poles attract, and like poles repel. The stronger the magnets and the closer together they are, the stronger the magnetic force between them.

A rigid cylinder with a movable piston contains a sample of hydrogen gas. At 330. K, this sample has a pressure of 150. kPa and
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

V₂ = 4.34 L

Explanation:

According to general gas equation:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Given data:

Initial volume = 3.50 L

Initial pressure = 150 Kpa (150/101.325 = 1.5 atm)

Initial temperature = 330 K

Final temperature = 273 K

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 1 atm

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂

V₂ =  1.5 atm ×  3.50 L × 273 K / 330 K × 1 atm

V₂ = 1433.3 atm .L. K / 330 k.atm

V₂ = 4.34 L

Which state of matter had the greatest distance the individual particles?
mylen [45]

Particles in gaseous state have the greatest distance between them. This is because the gas particles have a greater kinetic energy because of which they move far apart from each other. If we take water, in steam (water vapor) the particles are far apart from each other when compared to liquid water and solid ice.
