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.

Answer:
(A) power = 0.208 kW = 208 watts
(B) energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules
Explanation:
energy consumed per day = 5 kWh
(a) find the power consumed in a day
1 day = 24 hours
power = \frac{energy}{time}
power = \frac{5}{24}
power = 0.208 kW = 208 watts
(b) find the energy consumed in a year
assuming it is not a leap year and number of days = 365 days
1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31,536,000 seconds
energy = power x time
energy = 208 x 31,536,000
energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules
A piece of purple plastic is charged with 3. 13×106 extra electrons compared to its neutral state, then the net electric charge in coulomb would be - 5.008×10⁻¹³ coulombs.
<h3>What is an electric charge?</h3>
Charged material experiences a force when it is exposed to an electromagnetic field due to the physical property of electric charge. You can have a positive or negative electric charge (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). Unlike charges attract one another while like charges repel one another. We refer to an object as neutral if it has no net charge.
The charge on one electron is -1.6 ×10⁻¹⁹ coulomb.
Then the charge on the 3.13×10⁶ extra electrons compared to its neutral state
=-1.6×10⁻¹⁹ ×(3.13×10⁶)
As given in the problem A piece of purple plastic is charged with 3.13×10⁶ extra electrons compared to its neutral state then the net electric charge in coulombs would be - 5.008×10⁻¹³ coulombs.
