Answer:
I. Speed = 20m/s
II. Velocity = 20m/s due North.
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Distance = 40m
Time = 2secs
To find the speed;
Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Substituting into the equation, we have;

<em>Speed = 20m/s.</em>
In physics, we use the same formula for calculating speed and velocity. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and as such has magnitude but no direction while velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

<em>Therefore, the velocity is 20m/s due North</em>.
We can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant volume and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:
T1/P1 = T2/P2
P2 = T2 x P1 / T1
P2 = 273 x 340 / 713
<span>P2 = 130 kPa</span>
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.
