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 rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of +30.0 m/s2 for 5.00 s. It runs out of fuel at the end of this
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The distance covered by the rocket after fuel ran out is 3442.04 m

Explanation:

Given that the rocket moves with an acceleration a=30m/s^2

time t=5 s

Since the rocket starts from rest initial velocity  u=0 s

The distance it travelled within this time is given by  s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2                                                                                                  =0 \times 5+ \frac{1}{2} (30\times25)=375 m

Velocity at this point is given by v=u+at

v=0+30\times5=150m/s

Given that at this height it runs out of fuel but travels further. Here final velocity v=0(maximum height), initial velocityu=150 m/s  and time to zero velocity t=\frac{v}{g} = \frac{150}{9.8} =15.3 s.

Thus it travels 15.3 seconds more after fuel running out. The distance covered during this period is given

s= ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2=150 \times 15.3+1/2 \times9.8 \times 15.3^2=3442.04 m

Since the aluminum bar is not an isolated system, the second law of thermodynamics cannot be applied to the bar alone. Rather, i
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

ΔS total ≥ 0 (ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings)

Explanation:

Assuming that the entropy change in the aluminium bar is due to heat exchange with the surroundings ( the lake) , then the entropy change of the aluminium bar is, according to the second law of thermodynamics, :

ΔS al ≥ ∫dQ/T

if the heat transfer is carried out reversibly

ΔS al =∫dQ/T  

in the surroundings

ΔS surr ≥ -∫dQ/T = -ΔS al → ΔS surr ≥ -ΔS al = - (-1238 J/K) = 1238 J/K

the total entropy change will be

ΔS total = ΔS al + ΔS surr

ΔS total ≥ ΔS al + (-ΔS al) =

ΔS total ≥ 0

the total entropy change will be ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings
