There are two types of seismic waves associated with every earthquake, called P and S waves. They travel in every direction away from the source of an Earthquake called the epicenter. Because they each travel with different speeds, seismologists can determine the distance from a seismic station to an epicenter. An earthquake occurred in an area when a P wave travels at 5 km/s and the S wave travels at 3 km/s. A seismic station measures an SP lag time...

Which seismic wave travels fastest? Which seismic wave travels slowest?

Which seismic wave travels through Earth's interior? 3. Which seismic wave travels fastest? Which seismic wave travels slowest? 4. What is the difference between an earthquake epicenter and an earthquake focus? 5. How many different earthquake recordings are needed to locate an earthquake epicenter?

Fluid Mechanics: The speed of shallow water waves in the ocean (e.g., seismic sea waves or tsunamis) depends only on the still water depth and the acceleration due to gravity. Derive an expression for wave speed.

Mergesort is known to be one of the fastest algorithms for sorting lists of data. In fact, the runtime of mergesort is proportional to n· logn where n is the size of the list to be sorted. Bubblesort, on the other hand is a much slower algorithm, since it's runtime is proportional to n2 , where n is the size of the list to be sorted. As an experiment, mergesort is run on a slow computer, bubblesort is run on...

The velocity of waves on a string is 95.0 m/s. If the frequency of standing waves is 160 Hz, how far apart are two adjacent nodes? If two successive overtones of this vibrating string are 240 Hz and 320 Hz, what are the frequency of the fundamental and the length of the string?

Suppose the alphabet is S = {A B C D} and the known probability distribution is PA = 0.3, PB = 0.1, PC = 0.5, and PD = 0.1. Decode the Huffman coding result {11000010101110100} to the original string based on the probability distribution mentioned above. The codeword for symbol “D” is {111}. Please writing down all the details of calculation.

Q4. Tiger Woods is known for having one of the fastest driving swings in Golf (among other things). In fact, his Tee-off ball speed was recorded to be 122 MPH. Determine what Tiger Wood’s angular velocity and acceleration are for the club. He is 1.85 meters tall. (Refer to the Anthropometry slides to estimate his shoulder height) Shoulder height = 1.5133 122 MPH = 54.54 m/s
