Do you think seismographs predict earthquakes or measure earthquakes, explain your answer?

An earthquake prediction must define 3 elements: 1) the date and time, 2) the location, and 3) the magnitude.

Yes, some people say they can predict earthquakes, but here are the reasons why their statements are false:

They are not based on scientific evidence, and earthquakes are part of a scientific process. For example, earthquakes have nothing to do with clouds, bodily aches and pains, or slugs.
They do not define all three of the elements required for a prediction.
Their predictions are so general that there will always be an earthquake that fits; such as, (a) There will be a M4 earthquake somewhere in the U.S. in the next 30 days. (b) There will be a M2 earthquake on the west coast of the U.S. today.

Answer:

No. Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future.

Express in words AND mathematically the relationship between period and frequency
inessss [21]
The wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength. That number, also known as the frequency, will be larger for a short-wavelength wave than for a long-wavelength wave.

When the motion of one or both of the particles is at an angle to the line of impact, the impact is said to be ________
Nana76 [90]

Answer: Oblique impact

Explanation:

When the motion of one or both of the particles is at an angle to the line of impact, the impact is said to be oblique impact.

On the other hand, when the directions of motion of the two colliding particles are moving along a line of impact, then it's refered to as central impact.

A frog jumps for 4.0 seconds at a maximum horizontal distance of 0.8m. what is its velocity along the road?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The frog's horizontal velocity is 0.2 m/s.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must first remember what velocity is and how we solve for it.  Velocity can be solved for using the formula x/t, where x represents horizontal distance and t represents time (in seconds), that it takes to travel this distance.  If we plug in the given numbers for these variables and solve, we get the following:

v = x/t

v = 0.8m/4s

v = 0.2 m/s

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.2 m/s.  We can verify that these units are correct because the formula calls for distance divided by time, so meters per second is a sensible answer.

Hope this helps!
