Answer:

2.67 x 10⁷km

Explanation:

Given parameters:

    Time of arrival of p-waves  = 2: 10: 00

    Time of arrival of s-waves = 2: 15: 20

Unknown:

Distance of wave from epicenter  = ?

Solution:

 To find the distance of the wave from the epicenter;

     Distance = 3 x 10⁸ x time interval

Time interval = Time of arrival of p-waves  - Time of arrival of s-waves

                       =  2: 10: 00 - 2: 15: 20

                       = 5min 20s

                       = 320s

Now, we need to convert the time to hrs;

        3600s  = 1hr

         320s  = \frac{320}{3600}  = \frac{4}{45}hr

So,

   Distance =  3 x 10⁸  x \frac{4}{45}   = 2.67 x 10⁷km

I analyze one atom of carbon in a rock and then one atom of carbon from one of my skin cells. Explain the differences I might se
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

The two carbon atoms would be different. These different carbon isotopes are called isotopes. Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass number due to the difference in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.

Carbon for example has 3 known isotopes which are:

                    ¹²₆C         ¹³₆C         ¹⁴₆C

These isotopes have different places in nature where they can be found. Some can occur together naturally.

Isotopes have the same chemical properties because they share similar electronic configuration.

Based on the shapes of the water drops in part D, how does the attractive force between water and wax compare to the attractive
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Because the cohesive forces inside the droplets are stronger than the adhesive forces between both the drops and the wax, water does not penetrate waxed surfaces. Because the adhesive forces between the liquid and the glass are stronger than the cohesive forces inside the water, water wets glass and spreads out across it.
