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.

Antifreeze is a "must have" in an Albertan winter because it helps keep your vehicle engine from freezing in cold temperatures.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Products such as antifreeze are composed of organic compounds that are classified as <em>alcohols</em>. (a)

Maybe those other classes of chemicals also lower the freezing temperature of water, just like alcohol does. I don't know. But alcohol is what's used to make anti-freeze. I'm guessing alcohol must be cheaper, less toxic, and less corrosive inside the engines' cooling systems than any of that other stuff is.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Two long parallel wires each carry the same current I in the same direction. The magnetic field in wire 1 is given by :

$B_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi r}$

Magnetic force acting in wire 2 due to 1 is given by :

$F_{2}=I_2lB_1$

$F_2=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$

Similarly, force acting in wire 1 is given by :

$F_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$ According to third law of motion, the force acting in wire 1 will be in opposite direction to wire 2 as :

$F_2=-F_1$

So, the total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires is in what direction will be zero as the the direction of forces are in opposite direction.
