Scientists use a method called triangulation to determine where the earthquake was. It is called triangulation because a triangle has three sides, and it takes three seismographs to locate an earthquake.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>They can find the starting point of earthquake </u><u>by seismometer</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The epicenter of earthquake can be found by calculating the distance of seismometer and the time taken by it to reach the siensmometer. The meter is placed on a rock or somewhere where the surface is not shaky and a firm reading could be taken. They should be placed away from noise sources like traffic noise or any other noise. There are two types of waves that are taken into consideration. These waves are called P waves and S waves which are responsible for determining the location of the earthquake.

A soccer ball with mass 0.450 kg is initially moving with speed 2.20 m/s. A soccer player kicks the ball, exerting a constant fo

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

0.187 m

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the acceleration of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.450 Kg

Force (F) = 38 N

Acceleration (a) =?

F = m × a

38 = 0.450 × a

Divide both side by 0.450

a = 38 / 0.450

a = 84.44 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the distance. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 2.20 m/s.

Final velocity (v) = 6 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 84.44 m/s²

Distance (s) =?

v² = u² + 2as

6² = 2.2² + (2 × 84.44 × s)

36 = 4.4 + 168.88s

Collect like terms

36 – 4.84 = 168.88s

31.52 = 168.88s

Divide both side by 168.88

s = 31.52 / 168.88

s = 0.187 m

Thus, the distance is 0.187 m
