Assuming typical speeds of 8.5 km/s and 5.5 km/s for P and S waves, respectively, how far away did the earthquake occur if a par
taurus [48]

Answer:

The earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the P wave, v₁ = 8.5 km/s

speed of the S wave, v₂ =  5.5 km/s

The distance traveled by both waves is the same and it is given as;

Δx = v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

let the time taken by the wave with greater speed = t₁

then, the time taken by the wave with smaller speed, t₂ = t₁ + 1.2 min, since it is slower.

v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 1.2 min)

v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 72 s)

v₁t₁ = v₂t₁ + 72v₂

v₁t₁ - v₂t₁ = 72v₂

t₁(v₁ - v₂) = 72v₂

t_1 = \frac{72v_2}{v_1-v_2}\\\\t_1 =   \frac{72*5.5}{8.5-5.5}\\\\t_1 = 132 \ s

The distance traveled is given by;

Δx = v₁t₁

Δx = (8.5)(132)

Δx = 1122 km

Therefore, the earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km

How does reducing the mass of a moving object by half (1/2) change its kinetic energy?​
allochka39001 [22]
Kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²
If we reduce the mass by half > m/2
Kinetic energy = 1/2 m/2 v²
We should know that 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4
So kinetic energy will be :
1/4 × m × v²
