Answer:

The intensity of an earthquake with magnitude 5.4 greater than an earthquake with magnitude 5.3 is about 1.3 times greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An earthquake with the magnitude 5.4 greater than an earthquake with magnitude 5.3.

To find : By what approximate factor is the intensity of an earthquake of given magnitudes is greater?

Solution :

The equation for the magnitude of an earthquake is given by

M=\log(\frac{I}{I_{0}})

Where, I is the intensity of earthquake and I_0  is constant.

For an earthquake with magnitude 5.4,

5.4= log(\frac{I_{1} }{I_{0} })

Similarly, for an earthquake with magnitude 5.3,

5.3= log(\frac{I_{2} }{I_{0} })

Now, equating both the magnitudes

\frac{log(\frac{I_{1} }{I_{0} })}{log(\frac{I_{2} }{I_{0} })} =\frac{5.4 }{5.3 } \\\\(\frac{I_{1} }{I_{2} })=\frac{10^{5.4} }{10^{5.3} }\\\\(\frac{I_{1} }{I_{2} }) =10^{5.4-5.3}=1.2589\simeq 1.3\\\\I_{1} =1.3I_{2}

The intensity of an earthquake with magnitude 5.4 greater than an earthquake with magnitude 5.3 is about 1.3 times greater.

The factor is 1.3.

Answer:
after 7 minutes
19,600 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's the "pencil and paper" solution:
The two altitude equations are ...
y = 41300 -3100x
y = 2800x
They can be solved by setting the expressions for y equal to each other.
2800x = 41300 -3100x
5900x = 41300
x = 41300/5900 = 7
y = 2800·7 = 19600
The planes will both be at 19,600 feet after 7 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

always write what you know

circumference

U = 2 x pi x r

r = d/2

U = 39.25

rearrange and solve for r

U / (2 x pi) = r

solve for diameter

2r = d
