Complete the sentences to explain why an object falling vertically at terminal velocity remains at a constant speed:
"An object falling vertically through a fluid at terminal velocity maintains a constant speed because the downward force, caused by ________, is balanced by the upward resistive force, caused by ________."
Write down the equation that links distance travelled (sss), constant speed (vvv), and time taken (ttt).
The distance between an earthquake epicentre and a seismic recording station is 1.08×106 m1.08 \times 10^6\text{ m}1.08×106 m. A primary seismic wave (P-wave) travels through the Earth's crust at a constant speed of 6.0×103 m/s6.0 \times 10^3\text{ m/s}6.0×103 m/s. Calculate the time taken for the P-wave to travel from the epicentre to the recording station.
