Assignment: Using Seismographs Exploration

If you set up and completed this activity yourself, submit a picture of your seismograph, as well as a picture or scanned copy of your seismogram graph paper.

Observations

Describe what was observed in this activity regarding the seismograph.

Analysis

How do the recordings of the slow shakes compare to those when the table was shaken strongly? How would the seismogram of a magnitude 9 earthquake compare to that of a 5 magnitude? Explain your reasoning.

Compare and contrast the seismograph from this investigation with one that you saw pictured earlier in the lesson.

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2

d. platinum would have the greatest temperature increase because it has the lowest specific heat.

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
