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.

Assuming that the circuit is in the steady state, what is the total energy stored in the two capacitors? j

Neporo4naja [7]

The total energy stored is the sum of the energy stored in the capacitors. If the capacitors are series connected capacitors, then the charging current is the same for both capacitors. This means that each capacitor stores the same energy and the stored energy is two times the energy of any of the capacitors.

How did people studying lunar eclipses learn that Earth is round?

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth

What determines an object’s thermal energy

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

temperature and mass

Explanation:

The higher the temperature of a given quantity of a substance, more is its thermal energy.

If a substance contains more mass, this also implies that the object has more particles in it . hence, it has high thermal energy.

Additional Information :

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

The thermal energy of an object depends on three factors:

number of molecules in the object
temperature of the object.
thermal energy it has.

A loudspeaker in a parked car is producing sound whose frequency is 20 510 Hz. A healthy young person with normal hearing is sta

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The car must be moving away from the person.

Explanation:

From Doppler's Effect, we know that when a sound source moves towards a stationary observer, the apparent frequency of that sound increases. While the apparent frequency decreases if the source moves away from the stationary observer.

The audible range of frequencies for a human ear is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Therefore, in order for the sound of a loud speaker to be audible for the person, the frequency must decrease below 20000 Hz.

Due to this reason, the car must be moving away from the person.
