Do you think seismographs predict earthquakes or measure earthquakes, explain your answer?
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

No. Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future.

A hockey player uses a hockey stick to hit a puck such that the stick provides an applied force on the puck The puck travels for
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation presented in order to know which answer is correct.

When the stick collides with the puck, it exerts a force for a certain time and discants. / After this time the horizontal force decreases to zero and the disk continues to move by the action of the initial velocity on the x axis and the acceleration of gravity on the y axis.

Therefore, after the collision, the only force that acts on the disk is the gravitational attractive force (WEIGHT), directed on the axis and in a negative direction.

The correct answer is:

C)           Since there is no frictional force exerted on the puck, a normal force is not exerted on the puck, but the gravitational force is exerted on the puck

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

v = 16.11 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the principle of conservation of energy. We set a reference system on the part of the platform without elongation

starting point. When the spring is compressed

        Em₀ = K_e + U = ½ k x² + m g x ’

final point. The point where it leaves the platform

        Em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         ½ k x² + m g x ’= ½ m v²

         v² = \frac{k}{m}  x² + g x

let's calculate

         v² = \frac{8700}{55}  1.25² + 9.8 1.25

         v² = 247.159 + 12.25 = 259.409

         v = 16.11 m / s
