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.

Calculate the number of electrons in a small, electrically neutral silver pin that has a mass of 7.1 g. Silver has 47 electrons

Assoli18 [71]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of electrons in given amount of silver are $1.87\times 10^{24}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

We are given:

Given mass of silver = 7.1 g

Molar mass of silver = 107.87 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of silver}=\frac{7.1g}{107.87g/mol}=0.066mol$

Number of electrons in 1 atom of silver = 47

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an element contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.066 moles of silver will contain = - $(0.066\times 47\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=1.87\times 10^{24}$ number of electrons

Hence, the number of electrons in given amount of silver are $1.87\times 10^{24}$

When the forces acting on a particle are resolved into cylindrical components, friction forces always act in the

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Tangential

Explanation: This is a kind of force which act on a moving body in such a way that it is curved in the direction of the path of the body. This implies that when the velocity of the object is positive, the acceleration will be negative.

How do you find velocity when given 3 numbers

forsale [732]

In general, that's not possible, unless the three numbers relate to
very specific quantities.

For example, if the three numbers are the object's height, temperature,
and cost, then they are of no help at finding the object's velocity.

A solution is oversaturated with solute. which could be done to decrease the oversaturation?

Grace [21]

<span>A solution is oversaturated with solute. The thing that could be done to decrease the oversaturation is to add more solvent in order to decrease the concentration of the solute. You can also increase the temperature to increase solubility of the solute. Hope this answers the question.</span>

in vision, the ____ stream controls identification of an object, and the ____ stream controls action toward the object.

prisoha [69]

Answer: In vision, the ventral stream controls identification of an object, and the dorsal stream controls action toward the object.

Explanation: The ventral stream is associated with object recognition and form representation.

Dorsal stream a pathway that carries visual information from the primary visual cortex to the parietal lobe.

Hope it helps :)
