Answer:

Intensity of an earthquake (passes 1 km) = 8,748 × 10⁶

Explanation:

Given:

Distance (r1) = 54 km

Distance (r2) = 1 Km

Note:

Intensity of an earthquake with 54 km distance is 3.0 × 10⁶ J/m²s is not given.

So,

Intensity of an earthquake with 54 km distance (I₁) = 3.0 × 10⁶ J/m²s

Find:

Intensity when it passed a point only 1.0 km .

Computation:

Intensity of an earthquake = (r1 / r2)² (I₁)

Intensity of an earthquake (passes 1 km) = (54 / 1)²(3.0 × 10⁶)

Intensity of an earthquake (passes 1 km) = (54)²(3.0 × 10⁶)

Intensity of an earthquake (passes 1 km) = 8,748 × 10⁶

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

v = 1 m/s

Explanation:

from the principle of conservation of momentum, we have following relation

initial momentum = final momentum

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2} = (m_{1}+m_{2})v^{2}

where

m1 = 1.14 kg

v1 = 2.0 m/s

m2 = 1.14 kg

v2  = 0 m/s

putting all value in the above equation

1.14 *2.0+ 0 =(1.14+1.14)v^{2}

v =\frac{1.14*2.0}{1.14+1.14}

v = 1 m/s

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Black Hole

Explanation:

A black hole is a very dense and massive stellar object, which has a field of gravity so large that not even light can escape it.

Since it does not emit light, <u>we cannot see them directly</u>, hence the name of black hole.

So in this case,<u> if the object has a mass of 8 solar masses that is enough to form a black hole</u>, and <u>also cannot be seen</u>, all of this indicates that the object we are talking about is a black hole.

It should be mentioned that although these objects do not emit light, because it cannot escape due to the immense force of gravity, black holes can be detected by a type of radiation emitted on their event horizon due to quantum effects called Hawking radiation .

kramer

Explanation:

The gravitational force equation is the following:

F_G = G * \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \\

Where:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67408 * 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}

m1 & m2 = the mass of two related objects

r = distance between the two related objects

The problem gives you everything you need to plug into the formula, except for the gravitational constant. Let me know if you need further clarification.
