Let K.E_{i} be the intial K.E and K.E_{new} be new K.E,

I_{new} = \frac{2}{5} I _{i}

K.E_{i} =  \frac{I_{i} w^{2} }{2} --- (i)
K.E_{new} =  \frac{I_{new}w^{2}  }{2}

Therefore, 
K.E_{new} =  \frac{2I_{i}w^{2} }{5*2} ----(ii)


Dividing i and ii,

\frac{K.E_{new} }{K.E_{i} } =  \frac{2}{5}

Which location, 23 degrees or 48 degrees would experience the same earthquake at stronger intensity?Explain why.​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

48 degress

Explanation:

An earthquake causes many different intensities of shaking in the area of the epicenter where it occurs. So the intensity of an earthquake will vary depending on where you are. Sometimes earthquakes are referred to by the maximum intensity they produce. In the United States, we use the Modified Mercalli Scale. Earthquake intensity is a ranking based on the observed effects of an earthquake in each particular place. Therefore, each earthquake produces a range of intensity values, ranging from highest in the epicenter area to zero at a distance from the epicenter.

If light moves at a speed of 299,792,458 m/s, how long will it take light to move a distance of 1,000 km
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

change 1000km into Metre

1000km=1000000 M

speed= distance/time

time=distance/speed

time=1000000/299792458

time= 0.0033second

Why is accelration negative when velocity is positive.​
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
