Answer:
Arrival times of P and S waves
Explanation:
Seismological recording station has a seismometer that senses that motion in the ground, a clock that records time and a data recorded.
The distance between beginning of the first P wave and the first S wave will give you the time the waves are apart.This time value will be used to find the distance between the seismograph and the epicenter of earthquake and you mark it.This is corresponding distance in km to the time in seconds obtained before.You then find the amplitude of the strongest wave and mark it on the right side of chart.Amplitude is the height on paper of the strongest wave.Using a ruler join the amplitude point and the point where you marked the distance to epicenter.This line will cross the magnitude chart at a point which represents the magnitude of the Earthquake.
I’m pretty sure one increases just straight up velocity and the other is kind of a deceleration
Answer:
F = 1.6*10⁴ N
Explanation:
Given distance x = 0.15m, mass m = 1200kg, velocity v = 2m/s.
Unknown: force F
Force is given by Newton's law:
(1)
The average force to stop an object from a velocity will be the same force necessary to accelerate an object from rest to the same velocity.
The distance for an object starting from rest for a constant acceleration is given by:
(2)
The velocity for an object starting from rest for a constant acceleration:
(3)
Using equation 2 and 3 to eliminate time t:
(4)
Solving equation 4 for the acceleration a:
(5)
Using equation1 to solve for the force F:
(6)
