Four seismometers stations are the minimum needed to calculate the epicenter of an earthquake.

Physics
1 answer:
Gelneren [198K]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer:</u>

False, Four seismometer statitons are no required to find the earthquake's epicenter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The least number of seismometer stations sufficient for finding the epicenter of earthquake is three. Epicenter is point on earth's crust from where the seismic rupture gets originated. Using the distances to the epicenter from atleast three seismometers the epicenter of earthquake can be determined. This distance is used as the radius and 3 circles are drawn. The point at which the 3 circles intersect is called as epicenter of the earthquake. With one seismometer station, we can determine only the distance to the epicenter. With two seismometer station, measurements are ambiguous. Using more than three seismometer stations produces redundant information. Hence three seismometer is sufficient to determine the epicenter of earthquake.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

u = 0, h = 10 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

Here, v be the velocity of ball as it just strikes with the ground

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 10

v^2 = 196

v = 14 m/s

At a given instant, the force on an electron is in the +z-direction (out of the page), which the electron is moving in the +x-di
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The direction of the B-field is in the +y-direction.

Explanation:

The corresponding formula is

F_B = qv\times B

This means, we should use right-hand rule.

Our index finger is pointed towards +x-direction (direction of velocity),

our middle finger should point towards the direction of the B-field,

and our thumb should point towards the +z-direction (direction of the force).

Since our middle finger in this situation points towards +y-direction, the B-field should be in +y-direction.

\^{x} \times \^{y} = \^{z}

A car moves with the speed of 120m/s for 4 minutes ,calculate the distance covered by the car​
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

960 m

Explanation:

Given that,

  • Speed = 120 m/s
  • Time taken = 4 minutes

We have to find the distance covered.

Firstly, let's convert time in seconds.

→ 1 minute = 60 seconds

→ 4 minutes = (4 × 60) seconds

→ 4 minutes = 240 seconds

Now, we know that,

→ Distance = Speed × Time

→ Distance = (4 × 240) m

→ Distance = 960 m

Therefore, distance covered is 960 m.
