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.

Well i think the answer is impossible to find because there is no picture
-- She went up for 0.4 sec and down for 0.4 sec.
-- The vertical distance traveled in gravity during ' t ' seconds is
D = (1/2) x (g) x (t)²
= (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (0.4 sec)²
= (4.9 m/s²) x (0.16 s²)
= 0.784 meter ( B )
Wavelength= speed / frequency
so.....3× 10^8 / 7.26×10^14
= .413× 10^(-6)
in scientific notation= 4.13×10^(-7)
in nanometer = 413 nm
Answer:
Magnitude of resultant = 131.15
Direction of resultant = 3.97°
Explanation:
||u|| = 70
θ = 40°
||v|| = 85
θ = 335°
Resultant
Magnitude of resultant = 131.15
Direction of resultant = 3.97°
