It's a longitudinal wave surely because information passes parallel to the direction of travel or something like that?
Answer:
It is located at the point where circles intersect on a map.
Explanation:
The name 'EPICENTER' was formed by a seismologist from Ireland can Robert Mallet.
An epicenter of an earthquake can be defined as the exact point in the center where as earthquake originated from.
An epicenter of an earthquake can also be defined as the point that is located directly above the focal point of an earthquake.
In other to be able to accurately determine the exact place where an earthquake happens, seismologist try to find out the distance of the earthquake from at least three seismic recording stations. The distance of the earthquake is obtained from a an equipment used by seismologist called seismograph. After obtaining the values if this distance, circles with the right radius are then drawn around each station. The point where the three circles meet or intersect shows us the earthquake's epicenter.
Answer:
a) 2.87 m/s
b) 3.23 m/s
Explanation:
The avergare velocity can be found dividing the length traveled d by the total time t.
a)
For the first part we easily know the total traveled length which is:
d = 50.2 m + 50.2 m = 100.4 m
The time can be found dividing the distance by the velocity:
t1 = 50.2 m / 2.21 m/s = 22.7149 s
t2 = 50.2 m / 4.11 m/s = 12.2141 s
t = t1 +t2 = 34.9290 s
Therefore, the average velocity is:
v = d/t =2.87 m/s
b)
Here we can easily know the total time:
t = 1 min + 1.16 min = 129.6 s
Now the distance wil be found multiplying each velocity by the time it has travelled:
d1 = 2.21 m/s * 60 s = 132.6 m
d2 = 4.11 m/s *(1.16 * 60 s) = 286.056 m
d = 418.656 m
Therefore, the average velocity is:
v = d/t =3.23 m/s
Answer:
is it B to C?
I think thats it but I'm not 100 percent
