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.

Answer:
B)
Explanation:
Negative (-) charge M will not move towards negative (-) charge K because, same charges will not attract each other in the given case
Negative (-) charge at the M tends to move towards positive (+) charge L in the direction of B) because opposite charges attract each other.
Answer:
The last graph.
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at a given height from the Earth's surface.
The formula to find the gravitational potential energy is given as:
Where, 'U' is the gravitational potential energy.
'm' is the mass of the body.
'g' is the acceleration of the body due to gravity.
'h' is the height of the body above the Earth's surface.
So, from the above equation, it is clear that, gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height. So, as height increases, the gravitational potential energy increases. At the surface of Earth, where, height is 0, the gravitational potential energy is also zero.
Therefore, the correct graph is a straight line with positive slope and passing through the origin. So, the last option is the correct one.

Answer:
157.9 kg
Explanation:
Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body and it's volume.
The S.I unit of density is kg/m³.
From the question,
Density = Mass/volume
D = m/v............................ Equation 1
Where D = Density of gold, m = mass of gold, v = volume of gold.
make m the subject of the equation
m = Dv.................... Equation 2
Since the gold is a cube,
v = l³................... Equation 3
Where l = length of the gold cube.
Substitute equation 3 into equation 2
m = Dl³............... Equation 4
Given: D = 19300 kg/m³, l = 0.2015 m
Substitute into equation 4
m = 19300(0.2015)³
m = 157.9 kg.
