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

2 answers:

6 0

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.

When figure skating how do you quickly transition from backwards to forwards without falling or just going in a circle? I'm fair

olga2289 [7]

I am a competitive figure skater. There are certain turns you can use such as a mowhawk, where you set one foot down that is facing the opposite direction from which you are gliding. There is a two foot turn, where you either go on or toes and turn backwards, or lean somewhat on your heals and turn forwards. Use your hips to help turn. And a 3 turn, which is basically a 2 foot turn on 1 foot. But remember, it takes practice, and you may fall a couple times.

1.- An elevator is being lowered at a constant speed by a steel cable attached to an electric motor. Which statement is correct?

Nady [450]

Answer:

the correct one is C

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the work definition

W = F. s

Where the bold characters indicate vectors and the point is the scalar producer

W = F s cos θ

Where θ is the angles between force and displacement.

Let us support this in our case. The cable creates an upward tension and with the elevator going down the angle between them is 180º so the work of the cable on the elevator is negative.

The evade has a downward force, its weight so the force goes down and the displacement goes down, as both are in the same direction the work is positive

When examining the statements the correct one is C

Why do the pvc plastic wells used in this weeks elisa need to be sticky on the inner walls and how may your results change if a

Semmy [17]

Answer:

The stickiness in the inner walls allows them to be easily coated with the desired antigens, this translates in the use of a smaller amount of antigen. If the walls weren't sticky there's a possibility the antigen won't stick to them and therefore the result of the ELISA can be a false negative.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Consider three capacitors C1, C2, and C3 and a battery. If

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Charge on C₁ = charge on all the three capacitors in series with it = 7.5 μC

Explanation:

Since the same voltage in the battery is used for the entire rundown,

From this information "only C₁ is connected to the battery, the charge on C₁ is 30.0 μC",

Q = C₁V = 30 μC

V = (30/C₁)

the series combination of C₂ and C₁ is connected across the battery, the charge on C₁ is 15.0 μC

The charge on both capacitors are the same and equal to 15 μC (because they are in series)

Q = (Ceq) V = 15 μC

(Ceq) = (15/V) μF

The voltage is still the same as in the first connection process

V = (30/C₁)

(Ceq) = (15/V) μF

(Ceq) = 15 ÷ (30/C₁)

(Ceq) = 15 × (C₁/30) = 0.5 C₁

(1/Ceq) = (2/C₁)

For series connection

(1/Ceq) = (1/C₁) + (1/C₂)

(2/C₁) = (1/C₁) + (1/C₂)

(2/C₁) - (1/C₁) = (1/C₂)

(1/C₁) = (1/C₂)

C₁ = C₂

C₂ = C₁

C₃, C₁, and the battery are connected in series, resulting in a charge on C₁ of 10.0 μC.

The charge on both capacitors are the same and equal to 10 μC (because they are in series)

Q = (Ceq) V = 10 μC

(Ceq) = (10/V) μF

The voltage is still the same as in the first connection process

V = (30/C₁)

(Ceq) = (10/V) μF

(Ceq) = 10 ÷ (30/C₁)

(Ceq) = 10 × (C₁/30) = 0.333 C₁

(1/Ceq) = (3/C₁)

For series connection

(1/Ceq) = (1/C₁) + (1/C₃)

(3/C₁) = (1/C₁) + (1/C₃)

(3/C₁) - (1/C₁) = (1/C₃)

(2/C₁) = (1/C₃)

C₁ = 2C₃

C₃ = (C₁/2)

C₁, C₂, and C₃ are connected in series with one another and

with the battery, what is the charge on C₁

The charge on C₁ is the same as the charge on all the capacitors and equal to Q,

Q = (Ceq) V

(1/Ceq) = (1/C₁) + (1/C₂) + (1/C₃)

Substituting for C₂ and C₃

C₂ = C₁ and C₃ = (C₁/2)

(1/C₂) = (1/C₁) and (1/C₃) = (2/C₁)

(1/Ceq) = (1/C₁) + (1/C₁) + (2/C₁)

(1/Ceq) = (4/C₁)

Ceq = (C₁/4)

Q = (Ceq) V = (C₁/4) V

But recall that V = (30/C₁) from the first connection

Q = (C₁/4) (30/C₁)

Q = (30/4) = 7.5 μC

Hope this helps!
