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

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

<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.

Velocity is define as how fast an object is moving, and in what direction, it is a vector quantity, meaning velocity has both magnitude and direction. Anything goes to the left is negative, and anything goes to the right is positive.

a. Direction from east to west, given distance 11.5 meters, and time of 7.10 s

V = displacement/time  V = -11.5/7.10 S  V = -1.62 m/s  (going left)

b. Joaquin reaches his original position. Displacement is now zero.

    Velocity of the lawnmower is equal to "zero" but if we calculate for the average speed of the lawn, you just have to add the distance covered and the time it take to go back at the original position or point of origin

Which particle is most likely to interact with your hand? Select one: a. Alpha particle b. Beta particle c. Gamma particle d. Ne
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The correct option is a

Explanation:

The alpha particle has the lowest penetrating power of the trio of alpha, beta and gamma particles and can be stopped by a sheet of paper and hence cannot penetrate a human skin. Beta particle has a higher penetrating power than alpha particle (some of it penetrates the human skin and some do not) while the gamma particle has the highest penetrating power (with all of it penetrating the human skin).

From the above description, it can be deduced that the alpha particle will stay and interact with the hand (because of its low penetrating power) as the remaining particles move through the skin.
