How many magnitude 8 earthquakes does it take to equal the energy release for a magnitude 9 earthquake?

Physics
1 answer:
WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago
8 0
The popular Richter scale for measuring the magnitude of earthquakes is based on a log₁₀ scale.
Therefore, a magnitude 9 earth quake is 10 times a magnitude 8  earthquake.

That is, it takes ten magnitude 8  earthquakes to equal the energy released by one magnitude 9 earthquake.

Answer: 10

A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud
NARA [144]
<h2>Answer: 540 J</h2>

Explanation:

The Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (1)  

In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work W performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box F=45N by the distance traveled d=12m.

Hence:  

W=(45N)(12m)   (2)

W=540Nm=540J

An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 430 km/h . A wind begins blowing from the northwest at a speed of 85.0 km/h (aver
Igoryamba

Answer:

It should fly 8° to west of south at 430km/h

Explanation:

According to the diagram. X components for both velocities must have the same magnitude in order to get the resultant velocity due south.

V_{w}*cos(45) = V_{A}*sin(\alpha )   Solving for α:

α = 8.03°

Q.By the method of dimensional analysis derive the
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer

a) Using dimensional analysis we cannot derive the relation, But we can check the  correctness of the formula.

  s = u t +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

now,  L H S

  s = distance

  dimension of distance = [M⁰L¹T⁰]

now, equation on the right hand side

 R H S

 u = speed

 u = m/s

 Dimension of speed = [M⁰L¹T⁻¹]

dimension of time

  t = sec

 Dimension of time = [M⁰L⁰T¹]

 Dimension of 'ut' = [M⁰L¹T⁻¹][M⁰L⁰T¹]

                              = [M⁰L¹T⁰]

now, acceleration= a

  a = m /s²

dimension of acceleration = [M⁰L¹T⁻²]

dimension of (at²) = [M⁰L¹T⁻²][M⁰L⁰T¹][M⁰L⁰T¹]

                              = [M⁰L¹T⁰]

hence, the dimension are balanced.

so, L H S = R H S

b) Moment of inertia of hollow sphere = \dfrac{2}{3}Mr^2

  Moment of inertia of solid sphere = \dfrac{2}{5}Mr^2

   we know,

    \tau = I \alpha

    \alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}

Torque is the force that causes rotation

If the same amount of torque is applied to both spheres the sphere with bigger moment of inertia would have smaller angular velocity.

Thus the solid sphere would accelerate more.
