Which part of the seismograph moves as the ground shakes during an earthquake?
The part of the seismograph that moves during an earthquake is called the pen.
How do you make a vertical pen shoebox seismograph?
To make a vertical pen shoebox seismograph, place a pen in the center of the shoebox lid, with the tip pointing down. Attach a long piece of paper to the side of the shoebox and feed it under the pen tip. Secure the shoebox to a stable surface, and as the ground shakes during an earthquake, the pen will record the movement on the paper.
Do the pens on seismographs swing freely?
No, the pen on a seismograph does not swing freely. The pen is stationery only until an earthquake occurs. Then the pen moves along the paper according to the way the ground is moving or quaking.
Does the pen in a seismometer work?
Yes, the pen in a seismometer works by recording the motion of the ground during seismic events. When an earthquake occurs, the base of the seismometer moves while the pendulum or mass remains relatively stationary due to inertia. This relative motion causes the pen to trace a line on a rotating drum or paper, creating a seismogram that reflects the intensity and duration of the seismic waves.
What is a seismorgraph?
A seismograph is a device that measures and records ground motion during an earthquake or other seismic events. It consists of a ground motion sensor coupled with a recording system to monitor and document seismic waves.
Which part of the seismograph moves as the ground shakes during an earthquake?
The part of the seismograph that moves during an earthquake is called the pen.
Seismograph that does NOT move during an earthquake is?
pen
How does part of the seismograph remain at rest during an earthquake?
pen
How does a person use a seismograph?
In simple terms a seismograph works with a pen attached to a heavy weight hanging near the ground. As the ground shakes the line being drawn by the pen wiggles to reveal how strong the earthquake is.
How earthquake is measured using sesimograph?
The shaking of the ground makes the pen move up or down, or side to side, depending on what kind of seismograph it is. The pen then draws a graph, and the more the pen shakes, the the stronger the earthquake.
Why the pendulum of seismograph remains at rest?
Just like the first law of motion and object at rest remains at rest unless acted uponan unbanlaced foce
How much is the weight of a pen?
The weight of a standard pen is typically around 10 grams. However, this can vary depending on the material and design of the pen.
Explain how a seismograph records earthquake data?
A seismogram is placed on a drum attached to the base of the graph. The drum is slowly turned by a clock and a pen is attached to a heavy weight with it's point resting on the drum. As the bedrock of the seismograph shakes, the drum shakes as well. Therefore, measuring the extremity of the earthquake.
What is a better estimate for the weight of a pen?
A better estimate for the weight of a pen would be around 5-10 grams, as this is a typical range for the weight of a standard ballpoint pen.
How do you make a vertical pen shoebox seismograph?
To make a vertical pen shoebox seismograph, place a pen in the center of the shoebox lid, with the tip pointing down. Attach a long piece of paper to the side of the shoebox and feed it under the pen tip. Secure the shoebox to a stable surface, and as the ground shakes during an earthquake, the pen will record the movement on the paper.
What is the weight of a felt tip pen?
The weight of a felt tip pen is typically around 10-20 grams, depending on the brand and size of the pen.
How does an old seismograph work?
The seismograph works as follows. A pen, along with a particular calculated amount of (small) weight is attached to a spring. The other end of the spring is attached to a heavy and stable(so that it can with stand the earthquakes) base support. When an earth quake occurs, the movement of the smaller weight is recorded on a roll of moving paper by the pen. Then the extent of the earthquake is measured by those graphs(seismographs).
