Speed can never be negative because it does not depend in which direction the car moves whereas, velocity will change if a car turns from due North to East.
Quantities which can be described only by their magnitudes are called scalars and those which are described by both, magnitude and direction are vectors
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.

The decibel system of sound intensity operates by a logarithmic scale, meaning that sound intensity increases exponentially in relation to the decibel rating.
For decibels, the equation between intensity and the dB equivalent is:
dB = 10log(i),
where “i” is the intensity of the sound. The ten in front of the log means that an increase in ten dB results in a tenfold increase in sound intensity; for example, a 30 dB sound is ten times softer than a 40 dB sound.
In this case, a sound with a dB of 80 would be 1000 times more intense than a 50 dB sound, so the decibel rating of B is 80.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
-1m/s
Explanation:
We can calculate the speed of block A after collision
According to collision theory:
MaVa+MbVb = MaVa+MbVb (after collision)
Substitute the given values
5(3)+10(0) = 5Va+10(2)
15+0 = 5Va + 20
5Va = 15-20
5Va = -5
Va = -5/5
Va = -1m/s
Hence the velocity of ball A after collision is -1m/s
Note that the velocity of block B is zero before collision since it is stationary
