Answer:

Arrival times of P and S waves

Explanation:

Seismological recording station has a seismometer  that senses that motion in the ground, a clock that records time and a data recorded.

The distance between beginning of the first P wave and the first S wave will give you the time the waves are apart.This time value will be used to find the distance between the seismograph and the epicenter of earthquake and you mark it.This is corresponding distance in km to the time in seconds obtained  before.You then find the amplitude of the strongest wave and mark it on the right side of chart.Amplitude is the height on paper of the strongest wave.Using a ruler join the amplitude point and the point where you marked the distance to epicenter.This line will cross the magnitude chart at a point which represents the magnitude of the Earthquake.

What is the correct definition of conditioning?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The answer is: training to get into shape.

Explanation:

When it comes to physical exercise, "conditioning" refers to multiple <u>components that are used in order to improve performance relating to sports and fitness.</u> This includes a regimen of exercise that an individual follows in order to achieve his desired fitness level.

What is the monthly (30 days) energy cost (in
Mila [183]

Explanation:

Power= 40 W

cost=21¢/kWh

t=1 month=30 days = 720h

Energy= power*time

E= 40W* 720h = 28800kWh

Cost= Energy*rate

cost= 28800kWh*21¢/kWh

cost=604800¢

Name 2 forces acting on an object at rest Only need 1 got gravity
mote1985 [20]

You mean like a box sitting on a table.

One force is the force of gravity, pulling downward on the box.

Now, you know that the forces acting on the box must be balanced, because
if they're not, then the box would be accelerating.  But it's just sitting there, so
there must be some other force, just exactly the right strength and direction to
exactly cancel the force of gravity on the box, so that the net force on it is zero.

The other force is the force of the table pushing upward on the box.  It's called
the "normal force".

A painter sits on a scaffold that is connected to a rope passing over a pulley. The other end of the rope rests in the hands of
Doss [256]

Solution :

a). From Newtons second law,

F = ma

The total tension force is 2T.

∴ 2T - (m + M)g = (m+ M)a

Then

$a=\frac{2T-(m+M)g}{m+M}$

$a=\frac{2\times 600-(52+63)9.8}{52+63}$

   $=0.63 \ m/s^2$

b). From the person,

   F = ma

 T - Mg + N = Ma

or N = Ma + Mg - T

        = (63 x 9.8) + (52 x 9.8) - 600

        = 617.4 + 509.6 - 600

        = 527 N
