An earthquake generates two types of seismic waves, P-waves and S-waves. Their speeds are 8000 m/s and 5000 m/s, respectively. The waves reach the observation point with a time difference of 1.8 min. Assume that the waves travel in a straight line. How far from the observation point the earthquake occurred?

Michael Kasha, of Florida State University, used physics and mathematics to design a classical guitar. He used the model for the frequency of the vibrations on a circular plate v = 2.6t / d2 sqrt(E/p) where v is the frequency (in vibrations per second), t is the plate thickness (in millimeters), d is the diameter of the plate, E is the elasticity of the plate material, and ? is the density of the plate material. For fixed values of d, E, and ?, the graph of the equation is a line, as shown in the figure. Estimate the plate thickness when the frequency is 600 vibrations per second.

Both of the students recorded their results in their notebooks as follows: A) (1515 + 7)m/s B) (1522 + 4) m/s The students then looked up the value for the speed of sound in sea water and found it to be 1531 m/s. Which of the following statements best describes the comparison between the students' results and the accepted value for the speed? The values that the two students found did not agree with each other, but one of the student's answer did agree with the accepted value. The values that the two students found agree with each other but not with the accepted value. The values that the two students found did not agree with each other, nor with the accepted value. The values that the two students found agree with each other and with the accepted value. The values that the two students found were wrong and should have agreed with the accepted value.arrow_forward
