r₁ = distance of the point from the source = 43 km = 43000 m

I₁ = intensity of earthquake wave at distance "r₁" = 2.5 x 10⁶ W/m²

r₂ = distance of the point from the source = 1.5 km = 1500 m

I₂ = intensity of earthquake wave at distance "r₂" = ?

we know that , for a constant power , the intensity of wave is inversely proportional to the distance from the source .

I α 1/r²             where I = intensity of wave , r = distance from source

hence we can write

I₁/I₂ = r₂²/r₁²

inserting the values

(2.5 x 10⁶) /I₂ = (1500/43000)²

I₂ = 2.1 x 10⁹ W/m²

A symbol on a compass or map that is circular with graded points for the direction is commonly known as a _________. question 13
son4ous [18]

Answer;

-Compass Rose

A symbol on a compass or map that is circular with graded points for the direction is commonly known as a compass rose.

Explanation;

The Earth is a magnet that can interact with other magnets such that, the north end of a compass magnet is drawn to align with the Earth's magnetic field.

A compass rose is a figure on a compass, map, nautical chart, or monument used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions (north, east, south, and west) and their intermediate points. It is a feature on a map that also tells people what direction to go to find certain places on the map

What happens to the force between the objects if Mass 2 decreases? (increases, decreases
Anna35 [415]
The more separation two objects have, the more the force between them decreases. When mass 1 increases the force between the objects increases. If Mass 2 decreases, the force between the objects decreases.
