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.

Which measure of an earthquake depends on how close you are to the focus?

Vsevolod [243]

<span>The intensity of an earthquake is dependent on one's proximity to the focus of the quake, also called the "epicenter" and is based on observations of the shaking of the ground on humans, structures, and the natural landscape.</span>

Can someone help me?

Alik [6]

Answer:

Resultant = 3.05N

Explanation:

$r = \sqrt{{5}^{2} + 5^{2} - 2(5)(5) \cos(120) }$

$r = \sqrt{25 + 25 - 50(0.8142)}$

$r = \sqrt{50 - 40.71} = \sqrt{9.29}$

$r = 3.05$

A cup of tea at room temperature of 24°C is heated until it has twice the internal energy. Calculate the final temperature of th

elena-s [515]

The final temperature of the tea cup is 100°C.

<h3>What is internal energy?</h3>

The Internal energy is the energy of a substance due to to the constant random motion of its particles.

The symbol for internal energy of a substance is U and it is measured in Joules.

ΔU = q + W

q is the heat, q = mcΔT

W is the mechanical work.

In conclusion, the final temperature of the tea cup at room temperature of 24 °C which is heated until it has twice the internal energy is 100°C.

If you have two uncertainties, and they are from two different sources and contribute to the uncertainty of a measurement, what

Darya [45]

The propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given magnitude is the sum of the uncertainties of each magnitude.

Δm = ∑ $| \frac{dm}{dx_i} | \ \Delta x_i$

Physical quantities are precise values of a variable, but all measurements have an uncertainty, in the case of direct measurements the uncertainty is equal to the precision of the given instrument.

When you have derived variables, that is, when measurements are made with different instruments, each with a different uncertainty, the way to find the uncertainty or error is used the propagation errors to use the variation of each parameter, keeping the others constant and taking the worst of the cases, all the errors add up.

If m is the calculated quantity, x_i the measured values and Δx_i the uncertainty of each value, the total uncertainty is

Δm = ∑ $| \frac{dm}{dx_i } | \ \Delta x_i$ | dm / dx_i | Dx_i

for instance:

If the magnitude is a average of two magnitudes measured each with a different error

m = $\frac{m_1+m_2}{2}$

Δm = | $\frac{dm}{dx_1}$ | Δx₁ + | $\frac{dm}{dx_2}$ | Δx₂

$\frac{dm}{dx_1}$ = ½

$\frac{dm}{dx_2}$ = ½

Δm = $\frac{1}{2}$ Δx₁ + ½ Δx₂

Δm = Δx₁ + Δx₂

In conclusion, using the propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given quantity is the sum of the uncertainties of each measured quantity.
