The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primary wave. This is the fastest kind of seismic wave, and, consequently, the first to 'arrive' at a seismic station. The P wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of the earth.

Consider two less-than-desirable options.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The force would be the same in both cases - option C.

Explanation:

The change in momentum is known as an impulse. In the two cases under consideration, the change in momentum is the same, thus impulse for both cases is the same.

Impulse is the average force multiplied by time interval.

I = F(average)*ΔT. Where F(average) is the average force and ΔT is the time interval.

The average force in both cases is the same since the collision time is the same.

Thus option C is the correct answer.
