Transcribed Image Text:Problem
Earthquakes are dramatic slips of the earth's
crust. You may feel the waves generated by an
earthquake even if you're some distance from
the epicenter.
The figure shows the vertical position of the
ground recorded at a distant monitoring station
following an earthquake that hit Japan in 2003.
This particular wave traveled with a speed of
3500 m/s.
What were the maximum speed and the
y (cm)
60-
40-
