To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.
Answer: 7022.2kg/m³, yes, I was cheated
Explanation:
Density of an object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume. Mathematically;
Density = Mass/Volume
Note that the unit of both mass and volume must be standard unit.
Given mass = 0.0158kg
Dimension of the metal = 5mm×15mm×30mm
Note that 1mm = 0.001m
The volume of the metal will be
0.005×0.015×0.03
= 0.00000225m³
Density = 0.0158/0.00000225
Average density of the metal = 7022.2kg/m³
Since the standard density of Gold is 19,320kg/m³ and is higher than the density prescribed for me, it shows the I was cheated.
Explanation:
Velocity = displacement / time
v = √((58 m)² + (135 m)²) / (12 min × 60 s/min)
v = 0.20 m/s
