<u><em>PRIMARY </em></u>Waves Are Detected First Because They Move So Fast.
<u><em>RIGHT</em></u> Angles To The Direction of Movement.
A Kind Of Scale Used To Measure The Amount of Seismic Energy Released By An Earthquake <u><em>RICHTER SCALE</em></u>
There are two ways to solve this. The longer way is to use those equations to calculate numbers for total distance.
The easier way is to find the area under the graph. That's right, AREA UNDER VELOCITY-TIME graph is the TOTAL DISTANCE travelled!
it's a shortcut.
Let's split up the area into a triangle and rectangle:
Triangle = 0.5(4-0)(10-0) = 20 m
Rectangle = (6-4)(10-0) = 20 m
Total distance = 40 m!
Answer:
The velocity of the wave is 12.5 m/s
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
he frequency of the tuning fork, f = 250 Hz
The distance between successive crests of the wave formed, λ = 5 cm = 0.05 m
The velocity of a wave, v = f × λ
Where;
f = The frequency of the wave
λ = The wavelength of the wave - The distance between crests =
Substituting the known values gives;
v = 250 Hz × 0.05 m = 12.5 m/s
The velocity of the wave, v = 12.5 m/s.
