(a) Seismographs measure the arrival times of earthquakes with a precision of 0.100 s. To get the distance to the epicenter of the quake, they compare the arrival times of S- and P-waves, which travel at different speeds. If S- and P-waves travel at 4.00 and 7.20 km/s, respectively, in the region considered, how precisely can the distance to the source of the earthquake be determined? (b) Seismic waves from underground detonations of nuclear bombs can be used to locate the test site and detect violations of test bans. Discuss whether your answer to (a) implies a serious limit to such detection. (Note also that the uncertainty is greater if there is an uncertainty in the propagation speeds of the S- and P-waves.)
On December 26, 2004, a great earthquake occurredoff the coast of Sumatra and triggered immense waves (tsunami) thatkilled more than 200,000 people. Satellites observing these waves fromspace measured 800 km from one wave crest to the next and a periodbetween waves of 1.0 hour. What was the speed of these waves in m>sand in km/h? Does your answer help you understand why the wavescaused such devastation?
This is possibly a different atmosphere from ours. In any case, the speed of sound is computer-generated, and is 454 m/s this time. Light travels for us instantaneously.
You see a lightning flash, and 7.6 seconds later, you hear the thunderbolt. How far away was the lightning (in meters)?
