University Physics Earthquake Analysis Problem

🌍🌋📡 1-D Motion Problem Tutorial: Earthquake Shock Waves! 🔍 Problem: Earthquakes produce several types of shock waves. The most well known are the P-waves (P for primary or pressure) and the S-waves (S for secondary or shear). In the earth’s crust, P-waves travel at about 6.5 km/s and S-waves move at about 3.5 km/s. The time delay between the arrival of these two waves at a seismic recording station tells geologists how far away an earthquake occurred. If the time delay is 33 s, how far from the seismic station did the earthquake occur? 📚 Resources: University Physics with Modern Physics (14th Edition) by Young, Hugh D.; Freedman, Roger A.
