<span>If you have only two data from two recording stations then you will be having a hard time finding the correct location of the epicenter. This is because triangulation method requires 3 recording station. If you have 2 recording station, the 2 circles will intersect at 2 points giving you 2 locations that could possibly be the epicenter.</span>

Answer:

The seismic data are often recorded using seismograph, that records the arrival of the P and S waves during an earthquake. This seismograph is used to locate the epicenter of an earthquake. During an earthquake, the seismographs placed in the nearby regions records the data regarding these seismic waves, and generates a circle.  

When three seismographs placed at three different locations forms three circles due to an earthquake, it intersect at a common point. This intersecting point is the approximate location of the epicenter. It is a very much efficient and are commonly used.

But when there are only two recording stations, then it becomes difficult to determine the epicenter because two seismographs at two different location can form two circles after recording the data and this two circle will intersect each other at two different point. As a result of which the difficulties will arise in locating the epicenter.

A concave mirror has a focal length of 30.0 CM. an object is placed 15.0 CM from the mirror. what is the radius of curvature of
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

60 cm

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Focal length of a concave mirror as  30.0 cm
  • Object distance is 15.0 cm

We are required to determine the radius of curvature.

We need to know that the radius of a curvature is the radius of a circle from which the curved mirror is part.

We also need to know that the radius of curvature is twice the focal length of a curved mirror.

Therefore;

Radius of curvature = 2 × Focal length

Therefore;

Radius of curvature = 2 × 30 cm

                                 = 60 cm

When landing after a spectacular somersault, a 35.0 kg gymnast decelerates by pushing straight down on the mat. calculate the fo
Sliva [168]

The deceleration experienced by the gymnast is the 9 times of the acceleration due to gravity.

Now from Newton`s  first law, the net force on gymnast,

F_{net} =F-W=ma

Here, W is the weight of the gymnast and a is the acceleration experienced by the gymnast (9\times g acceleration due to gravity)  

Therefore,

F= ma+W OR F=ma+mg=m(g+a)

Given m = 30 kg anda=9\times g=9\times 9.8 m/s^{2} =88.2 m/s^{2}

Substituting these values in above formula and calculate the force exerted by the gymnast,  

F=(40 kg) (88.2 m/s^{2} +9.8 m/s^{2} )

F=3.537\times10^{3}N
