... ____ 44. The reason a tennis ball and a solid steel ball will accelerate at the same rate, in the absence of air resistance, is that a. they have the same mass. b. the ball with the larger force has the smaller mass. c. the ball with the larger force also has the larger mass. d. the force acting on ...

... You might think that the motion of an object is easy to detect—you just observe the object. But you actually must observe the object in relation to another object that appears to stay in place. The object that appears to stay in place is a reference point. When an object changes positions over time ...

... for another brief time near the end, it decelerates (with the same magnitude of acceleration, but oppositely directed) coming to rest after the total distance traveled. If the total time for the trip is 5.4 s, find the time during which the bacterium accelerates, the time during which it decelerates ...

Distinct changes in velocity, resistivity, and magnetic susceptibility characterize the boundaries of altered, olivine-rich troctolite intervals within the otherwise dominantly gabbroic se-quence. Some narrow ...

... In some sense, the kinematics is the study of dynamics from a purely experimental standpoint. That is, if we are able to map the positions, velocities, and accelerations of multiple particles, then we can ascertain the force which produced the motion. Note: By the word “particle”, it is implied that ...

... down is the force of gravity, pointing downward, with value mg. b. If the object is in contact with a flat surface, it means there is a normal force acting on the object. This normal force points away from and is perpendicular to the surface. c. There may be more than one normal force acting on an o ...

Seismometer

Seismometers are instruments that measure motion of the ground, including those of seismic waves generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other seismic sources. Records of seismic waves allow seismologists to map the interior of the Earth, and locate and measure the size of these different sources.The word derives from the Greek σεισμός, seismós, a shaking or quake, from the verb σείω, seíō, to shake; and μέτρον, métron, measure and was coined by David Milne-Home in 1841, to describe an instrument designed by Scottish physicist James David Forbes.Seismograph is another Greek term from seismós and γράφω, gráphō, to draw. It is often used to mean seismometer, though it is more applicable to the older instruments in which the measuring and recording of ground motion were combined than to modern systems, in which these functions are separated.Both types provide a continuous record of ground motion; this distinguishes them from seismoscopes, which merely indicate that motion has occurred, perhaps with some simple measure of how large it was.The concerning technical discipline is called seismometry, a branch of seismology.
