Suppose that while waiting for a big wave, a surfer is being propelled toward the beach in such a way that the distance (in meters) traveled is given by f (t) = 2t2 for 0 sts1, where t is in seconds. Find the velocity of the surfer at t = sec. To find the velocity we use the limits lim lim t-- The first blank should contain the expression used to define velocity, the second a simplified expression whose denominator has a non-zero limit at your value of a. None of your answers should contain the letter a. The value for the velocity is ) - units + (Note: sec2 = sec?). +Bymbolic formatting help
P and S waves from an earthquake travel at different speeds, and this difference helps locate the earthquake "epicenter" (where the disturbance took place). Part A Assum-ing typical speeds of 8.6 km/s and 5.3 km/s for P and S waves, respectively, how far away did an earthquake occur if a particular seismic station detects the arrival of these two types of waves 1.5 min apart?
