I need help making a relation between piezoelectricity and earthquake

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on formulating an equation that connects piezoelectricity with seismic waves generated by earthquakes. The user is exploring how to calculate stress and strain on a piezoelectric system based on earthquake energy, using magnitude and distance attenuation. They confirm that this inquiry is for schoolwork and have approached it logically so far. Other participants suggest utilizing scientific articles for a more robust understanding of the topic, recommending resources like Google Scholar. The conversation emphasizes the importance of grounding the approach in established research.

Is this for schoolwork? What resources have you been reading to try to come up with this?
 
Yes it is, so far I have only done it in a purely logical manner

Okay, I'll move your thread to the schoolwork forums then.

That's probably not the best way to approach this. Try searching for scientific articles on the subject to see how others have approached the problem. You could do the search with Google Scholar to narrow the results to scientific articles.
 

Thread 'Coulomb's force vs the Lorentz force'

Beams of electrons and protons move parallel to each other in the same direction. They ______. a. attract each other. b. repel each other. c. neither attract nor repel. d. the force of attraction or repulsion depends upon the speed of the beams. This is a previous-year-question of CBSE Board 2023. The answer key marks (b) as the right option. I want to know why we are ignoring Coulomb's force?

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...

Thread 'Speed of moth related to Doppler Effect'

I treat this question as two cases of Doppler effect. (1) When the sound wave travels from bat to moth Speed of sound = 222 x 1.5 = 333 m/s Frequency received by moth: $$f_1=\frac{333+v}{333}\times 222$$ (2) When the sound wave is reflected from moth back to bat Frequency received by bat (moth as source and bat as observer): $$f_2=\frac{333}{333-v}\times f_1$$ $$230.3=\frac{333}{333-v}\times \frac{333+v}{333}\times 222$$ Solving this equation, I get ##v=6.1## m/s but the answer key is...
