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

What do you mean by kinetic energy and potential energy ?
Verizon [17]

  • Kinetic Energy of an object is the measure of the work an object can do by virtue of its motions..

  • Formula - KE = 1/2 mv^2

  • Where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the body’s mass, and v is the body’s velocity.

  • Potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system by virtue of its position or arrangement of parts..

  • Formula - W = mgh

Where,

. m is the mass in kilograms

. g is the acceleration due to gravity

. h is the height in meters

The atom in the diagram has a neutral charge how many protons does it have
Olegator [25]

Explanation:

This should be of help:

An atom is made up of three subatomic particles:

  • Protons are the positively charged particles.
  • Electrons are the negatively charged particles.
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges.

A neutral atom is an atom that has not lost or gained any amount of electrons.

In a neutral atom;

                the number of protons and electrons are the same

 Usually atoms are designated this way:

                                                  ᵃₙX

  where X is the symbol of the atom

               a is the mass number of the atom

                n is the atomic number of the atom

 The mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

        Atomic number = number of protons

Note; atomic number is the same as the number protons and the number of electrons in a neutral atom.

Jen pushed a box for a distance of 80m with 20 N of force. How much work did she do?
Drupady [299]
The answer is 1,600 J.

A work (W) can be expressed as a product of a force (F) and a distance (d):
W = F · d<span>

We have:
W = ?
F = 20 N = 20 kg*m/s</span>²
d = 80 m
_____
W = 20 kg*m/s² * 80 m
W = 20 * 80 kg*m/s² * m
W = 1600 kg*m²/s²
W = 1600 J
