An earthquake 70 km
from a city produces P and S waves that travel outwards at 5000 and 3000 m/s
, respectively. Once city residents feel the shaking of P wave, how much time do they have before the S wave arrives?

Respuesta :

Answer:

&&&&&&&&&

Explanation:

Distance / Rate = time

P wave time   70 000 m / 5000 m/s = 14 seconds

S wave time   70 000 m / 3000 m/s = 23.33 seconds

Difference between the times = 9.33 seconds
