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 helium atom (mass 4.0 u) moving at 598 m/s to the right collides with an oxygen molecule (mass 32 u) moving in the same direct
labwork [276]

Answer:

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of helium ,m₁ = 4 u

u₁=598 m/s

Mass of oxygen ,m₂ = 32 u

u₂  = 401 m/s

v₂ =445 m/s

Given that initially both are moving in the same direction and lets take they are moving in the right direction.

Speed of the helium after collision = v₁

There is no any external force on the masses that is why the linear momentum will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final linear momentum

P = m v

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

598 x 4 + 32 x 401 = 4 x v₁+ 32 x 445

v₁ = 246 m/s

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

How much force was applied to an object if was moved 2 meters and the work done on the object was 8 joules?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The answer is 4N or B

Explanation:

Just the equation W = F x D.

We have W = 8 J and D = 2 m using algebra ....

8J/2m = F ... F = 4.

Which one of the following is a decomposition reaction?
BabaBlast [244]
You would know a decomposition reaction occurred if the reactants separated. For example from AB → A+B.

Now if you look at your options only 1 works out for that equation. Letter A. 
From the compound K2CO3 it split up to K2O +CO2

It cannot be letter B because synthesis/combination occurred. The same goes for letter C. Letter D, single displacement occurred. 

Again, the answer is A.
