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.

A sound wave has a frequency of 500 Hz and a wavelength of 1.8 m. What is the wave speed of the sound wave? Question 1 options:
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The wave speed of the sound wave is 900 \frac{m}{s}.

Explanation:

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The propagation velocity is the speed with which the wave propagates in the medium, that is, it is the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) inversely proportional using the following equation: v = f * λ.

In this case:

  • f= 500 Hz
  • λ= 1.8 m

Replacing:

v= 500 Hz* 1.8 m

v= 900 \frac{m}{s}

<u><em>The wave speed of the sound wave is 900 </em></u>\frac{m}{s}<u><em>.</em></u>

When you drop a object on earth, earth gets pulled slightly toward that object as well. How do I calculate the force if the eart
kiruha [24]

The gravitation force with which the earth is being pulled can be determined by applying Newton's law of universal gravitation.

<h3>What is gravitation force?</h3>

According Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force exerted between two objects in the universe is directly proportional to the product of masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Mathematically, the formula for gravitation force is given as;

F = GmM/R²

where;

  • m is the mass of the object
  • M is mass of earth
  • R is the distance of the object from earth
  • G is universal gravitation constant

If the mass of the object is know and the distance between earth  and the object is also known, the force with which the earth is being pulled can be calculated by applying Newton's law of universal gravitation as shown in the above equation.

Thus, the force with which the earth is being pulled can calculated as well.
