If you were standing on the epicenter of an earthquake when would you feel the vibrations in relation to someone else standing 50 miles away?
The epicenter is directly above the focus, or starting point, of the earthquake. Anyone standing there would be the first to feel the vibrations.
Seismic waves can vary from a low speed of 2 to 8 kilometers per second in the earth's crust to as much as 13 kilometers per second in the deep mantle. Some waves that go downward and reflect up off the earth's core may actually arrive before the waves that go in a straight line!
A rough approximation says that someone 50 miles away would feel the vibrations between 6 and 40 seconds later.
A+ls: before the other person
What else can I help you with?
Can A standing wave can only occur at natural frequencies?
A standing wave can occur only at specific frequencies that are called natural frequencies.
Which exerts greater pressure on the floor standing flat footed or standing on tiptoe?
on tiptoe, because the force acts over less area
Why does a mattress sink more when a person is standing on it compared to when the person is lying on it?
More lbs. per square inch standing up than lying down.
What is a wave that appears to stay in one place?
A Standing Wave, the principle of superposition states that : The resultant of two or more superposed harmonic vibrations is simply the sum of the displacements of the individual vibrations.To understand better what is a stationary wave, you should understand how stationary waves are formed.Check out Melde's set up.Melde, set up an apparatus, where one end produced a wave when the oscillator was switched on, the wave then hit the pulley and bounced back. This wave hit the incoming new wave from the oscillator and since they had the same characteristics (same wavelength, speed, frequency) and were in the opposite direction they created a stationary wave.
Step by step method on how the standing stork test is done?
The standing stork test evaluates balance and stability. To perform it, start by standing upright on one leg, with the opposite foot placed against the inner knee of the standing leg. Maintain this position for as long as possible without losing balance or needing to touch the ground with the raised foot. The test is typically timed, and the duration can indicate balance proficiency.
True or false A person who is standing above the epicenter of an earthquake is protected from the motion and does not feel the movement?
false
A person standing directly on the epicenter of an earthquake is protected from the motion and does not feel movement.?
Not necessarily. The strong shaking at the epicenter of an earthquake can still be damaging and dangerous. The severe ground motions at the epicenter can cause buildings and structures to collapse, leading to potential injury or death.
Why might a magnitude 7 earthquake have less intensity than a magnitude 6 earthquake?
There are many factors. One would be the distance a person is from the epicenter. A person who is further from a magnitude 7 earthquake would be less affected by the shockwaves than a person nearer to the epicenter of a magnitude 6 earthquake. The place the person is in at the time of the earthquake also may affect the intensity of what he feels. If one is in a tall and stable building during an earthquake, he would not feel the vibrations as much as one standing on the streets. The scale measuring the intensity of earthquakes should be considered too. A Mercalli Intensity Scale measuring magnitude 6 may possibly be more powerful than a Richter Scale measuring a magnitude 7, as more damage is caused.
Where is the epicenter of an earthquake if the arrival time difference between P and S waves is zero?
Your standing on it! P-waves travel faster than S-waves through the Earth. As such the further away a seismometer station is from the epicentre of an Earthquake, the larger the difference between arrival times will be. By the same logic this means that the closer you get to the epicentre, the smaller the difference in arrival time will be until your at the epicentre when the difference will be zero!
What is the Spot in a standing wave where vibrations cancel out each other and there is no vibration?
A node.
What happened to the Tokyo Sky Tree after the earthquake?
It stayed standing
What is the method of sound production for the Trumpet?
The lips produce vibrations and airflow which creates standing waves in the instrument. those vibrations are tuned and amplified by the bell into large pressure waves.
Is the Colosseum still standing from the earthquake?
the the cololsseum still stands afther the big earthquake because it has a strong base and the ruins still stands today!
Are Sean Murray of Ncis and Joel Murray of Still Standing related?
Nope. No relation.
Did the creator of Pokemon die in the earthquake of Japan?
Yes he did,he was standing outside of his house thinking what is going on.
What hotel survived the Kobe earthquake?
The Rokko Island Hotel in Kobe, Japan survived the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake. It was one of the few buildings in the area to remain standing and operational after the devastating earthquake.
Standing in a doorway and bolting down house foundations are related to which type of natural disaster?
These actions are related to preparing for earthquakes, as bolting down the house foundations can help prevent structural damage, and standing in a doorway is an outdated recommendation for seeking shelter during an earthquake.
