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

Delvig [45]3 years ago

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.

2. Two charges at fixed locations produce an electric field as shown
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

sum of the two forces as both point to the right is a force that points to the right,

Explanation:

The force on the cast load at point Y is given by

        F = q_y  E

force is a vector magnitude so its result is

        ∑ F = Fₐ + F_b

indicate that the charge at y is negative, we analyze the direction of the force created by each charge

Charge A

as the electric field is incoming the charge is negative and as the test charge is negative both repel each other, consequently the force points to the right

Charge B

in this case the electric field lines are salient, therefore the charge is positive, consequently the force on the charge at y is attractive and points to the right

the sum of the two forces as both point to the right is a force that points to the right, that is, in the direction of the charge located at B

I need help pleaseee
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

8) 709.8875 J

9) The object is at 7.24375 m from the ground

10) Kinetic energy increases as the object falls.

Explanation:

We use the expression for the displacement h(t) as a function of time of an object experiencing free fall:

h(t) = hi - (g/2) t^2

hi being the initial position of the object (10m) above ground, g the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and t the time (in our case 0.75 seconds):

h(0.75) = 10 - 4/9 (0.75)^2 = 7.24375 m

This is the position of the 10 kg object after 0.75 seconds (answer for part 9)

Knowing this position we can calculate the potential energy of the object when it is at this height, using the formula:

U = m g h = 10kg * 9.8 (m/s^2) * 7.24375 m = 709.8875 J (answer for part 8)

Part 10)

the kinetic energy of the object increases as it gets closer to ground, since its velocity is increasing in magnitude because is being accelerated in its motion downwards.

What is this feature?
Viktor [21]

Answer: c Delta

Explanation:

A delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment.

Hope this helps!!
