Earthquakes generate sound waves inside earth. unlike a gas, earth can experience both transverse (s) and longitudinal (p) sound waves. typically, the speed of s waves is about 4.88 km/s, and that of p waves 7.94 km/s. a seismograph records p and s waves from an earthquake. the first p waves arrive 1.83 min before the first s waves. if the waves travel in a straight line, how far away does the earthquake occur?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j.b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

Employer informs its employees that it will hold a substantial cash prize drawing for each work group at the end of each month in which no employee in the work group sustains a lost-time injury. tyra reports an injury that she sustained while operating a mechanical power press. tyra did not violate any employer safety rules when she sustained her injury. tyra’s injury requires her to miss work for two days. her employer cancels the cash prize drawing for that month for tyra’s work group because of tyra’s lost-time injury. did the employer misuse an incentive program to retaliate against tyra?
