Hi there!
We can use the rotational equivalent of Newton's Second Law:
Στ = Net Torque (Nm)
I = Moment of inertia (kgm²)
α = Angular acceleration (rad/sec²)
We can plug in the given values to solve.
Answer:
7.68 m
Explanation:
Kinetic energy in ball = elastic energy in spring
KE = EE
½ mv² = ½ kx²
mv² = kx²
x = v √(m / k)
x = (38.5 m/s) √(20.5 kg / 515 N/m)
x = 7.68 m
The longer the time between the arrival of the P-wave and S-wave, the <u>farther away</u> is the epicenter.
<h3>
What is epicenter and the relation between P-wave and S-wave?</h3>
- The point on the earth's surface vertically above the hypocenter (or focus), point in the crust where a seismic rupture begins is said to be epicenter.
- There are two types of waves during earthquakes, they are:
- P - wave
- S - wave
- Each seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive.
- From the graph, through the information, scientists can determine how fast the waves are traveling.
- The longer the time between the arrival of the P-wave and S-wave, the farther away is the epicenter.
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
