Explain how do you determine the intensity of earthquake​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.

Answer 2

Answer:

To measure the magnitude of an earthquake, the American scientist Charles Richter developed a scale in 1935. Known as the Richter scale, it assigns a number based on the height of the waves on a seismogram (the visual output of a seismograph). Seismographs measure ground motion, including the energy released by an earthquake.

A tractor pulls a 978 kg wagon at a velocity of 4.9 m/s. How many watts of power are exerted by the tractor motor is the tractor pulls the wagon at a 60 degree angle?

Answers

Answer:

23481.78 W

Explanation:

The computation of number of watts of power is shown below:

M = 978 kg

V = 4.9 m/s

Theeta = 60°

As we know that  

 P = Fcos(theeta).V

F = Mg

P = (Mg)cos(theeta).V

P = 978×9.8×cos(60)×4.9

P = 23481.78 W

Miles Tugo is camping in Glacier Canyon and he makes a loud holler. The sound bounces off the nearest canyon wall (which is located 170 meters away from Miles) and returns to Miles.
Determine the time elapsed between when Miles makes the holler and the echo is heard.

Answers

Answer:

It would take 1 s to hear the echo.

Explanation:

Here, the sound covered a total of 340 meters, since it bounces off the canyon wall and travels back to Miles in the form of echo.

The time elapsed can be determined by,

v = [tex]\frac{2D}{t}[/tex]

⇒ t = [tex]\frac{2D}{v}[/tex]

where: v is the speed of sound in air (343 m/s), D is the distance of the nearest canyon (170 m).

So that,

2D = 2 x 170 = 340 m

Thus,

t = [tex]\frac{340}{343}[/tex]

 = 0.9913 s

t = 1 s

It takes 1s for Miles to hear his echo.

Answer:

Seeing as how the balloon is mainly negatively charged and the paper being positively charged, the answer would be B: The tissue paper will stick to the balloon because the tissue paper is positively charged!

The answer is B. There are more +s than -s on the paper, making the overall charge positive, and more -s than +s on the balloon, making the overall charge negative. Since opposites attract, the correct answer is choice B.

(PLEASE PLEASE HELP ASAP ILL MARK BRAINLIEST)​

Answers

Answer:

[tex] Power = \frac {mgh}{time} [/tex]

Explanation:

2. Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

[tex] Power = \frac {Energy}{time} [/tex]

3. Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

[tex] P.E = mgh[/tex]

Where,

P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

4. Substituting the equation in 3 into equation in 2 above, we have;

[tex] Power = \frac {mgh}{time} [/tex]

Answers

Answer:

C.cathode, cathode

Explanation:

In electrolysis, a device called ELECTRODE, which electric current passes through is used. However, electrodes can either be anode or cathode depending on the charge. Anode is a positive electrode that attracts negative ions while cathode is a negative electrode that attracts positive ions.

According to this question, Copper (Cu) and hydrogen (H) which are both positive ions i.e. Cu2+ and H+ will move towards and form at the CATHODE. Hence, the answer is cathode, cathode for the respective element.

A compact car, mass 664 kg, is moving at 19 km/h toward the east. What is the car's momentum in kg x m/s?

Answers

Answer:

3504.4 kgm/s

Explanation:

First, convert km/hr to m/s:

19 km/hr x 1000m/1km x 1/60min x 1/60s = 5.28 m/s

p = mv

p = (664 kg)(5.28 m/s) = 3504.4 kgm/s

2. Lay the metal plate or pan with the bottom up. Wring the cloth out and lay it across the
metal plate or pan.
3. Use a wire to connect the negative terminal to one edge of the pan, using an alligator clip
or paper clip.
4. Connect the other wire to the positive end, and then slowly stroke the exposed end across
the cloth. (The electric current frees the iodine from the potassium iodide, making a dark

What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 10 km/s 3 points
and a frequency of 15 Hz?*
.67 km
1.5 km
150 k

Answers

Answer:

0.67 km

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of a wave, v = 10 km/s = 10000 m/s

The frequency of a wave, f = 15 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the wave. The speed of wave in terms of wavelength and frequency is given by :

[tex]v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{10000}{15}\\\\=666.66\ m[/tex]

or

= 0.67 km

So, the wavelength of the wave is 0.67 km.

Why do you think the speed of sound is higher
in solids, than liquids and gases?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Particles of a solid are closely packed, and  when a solid is hit to produce a sound the kinetic energy present in the solid will cause the particles to vibrate vigorously in the intermolecular spaces in the solid, whereas the paticles of liquids and gases are rather further apart therefore having large intermolecular spaces between particles.

Answer:

S = 415.1 meters

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Velocidad inicial = 25 m/s

Tiempo, t = 7 segundos

Para encontrar la altura (desplazamiento) de la pelota, usaríamos la segunda ecuación de movimiento;

[tex] S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]

Dónde;

S representa el desplazamiento o altura medida en metros.

u representa la velocidad inicial medida en metros por segundo.

t representa el tiempo medido en segundos.

a representa la aceleración medida en metros por segundo cuadrado.

Sustituyendo en la ecuación, tenemos;

[tex] S = 25*7 + \frac {1}{2}*(9.8)*7^{2}[/tex]

[tex] S = 175 + 4.9*49 [/tex]

[tex] S = 175 + 240.1 [/tex]
