To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.
If you have (1 x 10⁹) cubic meters of volume, and 1/2 gram of mass
in each cubic meter, then you have
(1/2 x 10⁹) grams = (5 x 10⁸) grams = (5 x 10⁵) kilograms of mass .
On Earth, that mass weighs 4,900,000 newtons .
(about 1,102,300 pounds)
(about 551 tons)
Answer:
V = 3.17 m/s
Explanation:
Given
Mass of the professor m = 85.0 kg
Angle of the ramp θ = 30.0°
Length travelled L = 2.50 m
Force applied F = 600 N
Initial Speed u = 2.00 m/s
Solution
Work = Change in kinetic energy

Since force is mass*acceleration,
F = 70kg * 9.8 m/s
