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

A package of aluminum foil contains 50. Ft2 of foil, which weighs approximately 7.0 oz . Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm3. W
kumpel [21]

We know density = Mass / Volume

So Volume = Mass/Density

Volume =  Area * Thickness

Area = 50 ft^2 = 4.645152 m^2\\ \\Mass = 7 oz = 0.198447 kg\\ \\Density = 2.70 g/cm^3 = 2700 kg/m^3\\ \\Substituting \\ \\4.645152 *t = \frac{0.198447}{2700} \\ \\t = 1.58*10^{-5}m = 1.58*10^{-2}mm

So the approximate thickness of the foil in millimeters = 1.58*10^{-2}mm
