Data was used from three different stations. Where their data overlapped was where the epicenter was located.
it is called triangulation

If you slosh the water back and forth in a bathtub at the correct frequency, the water rises first at one end and then at the ot

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Velocity(v) = frequency(f) × wavelength

f = 0.3165

Wavelength = 2×length(L)

L = 157cm

Convert the length in centimetres to metre = 1.57m

v = 2×1.57 × 0.3165

v = 0.99m/s

Approx. 1m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave is the product of its frequency and it's wavelength. The frequency is already known. The wavelength is the distance between two successive wave crests which is formed by sloshing water back and forth in the bath tub. Sloshing water to one end of the tub will produce a wave crest first at that end then the other completing a cycle. The wavelength will be twice the length of the bath tub as it is the distance that both crests are formed.

Wave crest is the highest point of a wave, and in this case is where the water rises to a high point in the bath tub

A particle of mass m moves under an attractive central force F(r) = -Kr4 with angular momentum L. For what energy will the motio

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Angular velocity is same as frequency of oscillation in this case.

ω = $\sqrt{\frac{7K}{m} }$ x $[\frac{L^{2}}{mK}]^{3/14}$

Explanation:

- write the equation F(r) = -K $r^{4}$ with angular momentum <em>L</em>

- Get the necessary centripetal acceleration with radius r₀ and make r₀ the subject.

- Write the energy of the orbit in relative to r = 0, and solve for "E".

- Find the second derivative of effective potential to calculate the frequency of small radial oscillations. This is the effective spring constant.

- Solve for effective potential

- ω = $\sqrt{\frac{7K}{m} }$ x $[\frac{L^{2}}{mK}]^{3/14}$

Many behavioral psychologists would disagree with the social cognitive theory because most believe that behavior is __________.

Llana [10]

The correct answer B. Not affected by cognition

Explanation:

In the Social Cognitive Theory, the most important aspects are social interaction and cognition that involves mental processes such as comprehension. Indeed, this theory proposes behaviors are the result of observing other people as part of social interaction, understanding this behavior, and then imitating it.

Despite this, many psychologists do not support this theory and the main reason is that they deny the learning of behavior is related to cognition or complex mental processes. Instead, some believe behavior is the result of certain impulses or that is regulated by conditioning such as behaving correctly to avoid negative consequences.
