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.

An apple dropped from the branch of a tree hits the ground in 0.5 s. If the acceleration of the apple during its motion is 10 ms
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Given that,

Time = 0.5 s

Acceleration = 10 m/s²

(I). We need to calculate the speed of apple

Using equation of motion

v=u+at

Where, v = speed

u = initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

v=0+10\times0.5

v=5\ m/s

(III). We need to calculate the height of the branch of the tree from the ground

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Put the value into the formula

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times10\times(0.5)^2

s=1.25\ m

(II). We need to calculate the average velocity during 0.5 sec

Using formula of average velocity

v_{avg}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{x_{f}-x_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{0}}

Where, x_{f}= final position

x_{i} = initial position

Put the value into the formula

v_{avg}=\dfrac{1.25+0}{0.5}

v_{avg}=2.5\ m/s

Hence, (I). The speed of apple is 5 m/s.

(II). The average velocity during 0.5 sec is 2.5 m/s

(III). The height of the branch of the tree from the ground is 1.25 m.

According to Bernoulli's fluid formula a An increase in the speed will lower the internal pressure b An increase in the speed wi
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a An increase in the speed will lower the internal pressure

Explanation:

Bernoulli's fluid formula

P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2+\rho gh_1=P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2+\rho gh_2

where

P = Pressure

ρ = Density of fluid

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h = Height

v = Velocity of fluid

If there is no change in height then we get

P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2=P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\Rightarrow P+\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2=constant

According to the Bernoulli's principle when the speed of the fluid is larger in a region of streamline flow the pressure is smaller in that region. From the above equation it can be seen that increase in speed should simultaneously reduce pressure in order for their sum to be constant.

Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 4.0 m/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each trav
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The coefficient of rolling friction will be "0.011".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Initial speed,

v_i = 4.0 \ m/s

then,

v_f=\frac{4.0}{2}

    =2.0 \ m/s

Distance,

s = 18.2 m

The acceleration of a bicycle will be:

⇒ a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒    =\frac{(2.0)^2-(4.0)^2}{2\times 18.2}

⇒    =\frac{4-8}{37}

⇒    =\frac{-4}{37}

⇒    =0.108 \ m/s^2

As we know,

⇒  f=ma

and,

⇒  \mu_rmg=ma

⇒       \mu_r=\frac{a}{g}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒       =\frac{0.108}{9.8}

⇒       =0.011
