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.

Use this formula to solve this problem:

Maslowich

Well, you gave us the formula to calculate power from work and time,
but you didn't give us the formula for work. We have to know that.

   Work = (force) x (distance)

The work to raise Sara to the top of the hill is

   Work = (300 N) x (15 meters)

   = 4,500 newton-meters = 4,500 joules .

Now we're ready to use the formula that you gave us. (Thank you.)

Power = (work) / (time)

= (4,500 joules) / (10 seconds)

450 joules/second = 450 watts.

A 30-cm long string, with one end clamped and the other free to move transversely, is vibrating in its second harmonic. The wave

Ann [662]

Answer:

$\lambda$ = 40 cm

Explanation:

given data

string length = 30 cm

solution

we take here equation of length that is

L = $n \times \frac{1}{4} \lambda$ ...............1

total length will be here

$L = \frac{\lambda}{2} + \frac{\lambda}{4}\\$

$L = \frac{3 \lambda }{4}$

so $\lambda$ will be

$\lambda = \frac{4L}{3}\\\lambda = \frac{4\times 30}{3}$

$\lambda$ = 40 cm

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of

andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where :

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

$n_1=1.00$ (index of refraction of air)

$n_2=1.50$ approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

$sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

And since $n_2>n_1$ , we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

And so

$\theta_2$

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
