POINTS PLZ HEL 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.

the duration of a photographic flash is related to an rc time constant, which is 0.100 μs for a certain camera.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
