Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C                            

Earthquake with magnitude 6 is considered as moderate magnitude of earthquake.

Earthquake with magnitude 4 is considered as low magnitude earthquake.

Difference between the magnitude of the earth quake is 6 - 4 = 2

the difference in the magnitude is 2                    

The earthquake of magnitude 6  is 100 times more stronger than the earthquake of magnitude 4.

Answer:

c) 100

Explanation:

The energy of an earthquake is giben by the following formula:

\log{E} = 5.24 + 1.44M

In which log is the logarithm operation and M is the magnitude.

We can isolate E elevating both sides to 10, which leaves us with 10^{\log{E}} = E on the left side. This is a logarithm property So:

E = 10^{5.24 + 1.44M}

Magnitude 6

Has a energy of

E = 10^{5.24 + 1.44*6} = 7.59 \times 10^{13}

Magnitude 4

Has a energy of

E = 10^{5.24 + 1.44*4} = 10^{11}

So the earthquake of magnitude 6 is \frac{10^{13}}{10^{11}} = 100 times more energetic.

Answer:

energy required = 553772 kJ

Explanation:

we know that

1 m = 100 cm

1 m³ = 1000 L

so volume will be

water volume = 1,658 × \frac{1}{100} m³

water volume = 1.658 m³

so water volume we can say = 1,658 liters of water

and

we know that 1 mg of water  require =  334 J energy

so here  here we can say 1 L =   334 kJ energy

as that 1658 L energy require = 1658 × 334 kJ

energy required = 553772 kJ

If you could count stars at a rate of about one per second, how long would it take to count all the stars in the Milky Way Galax
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

It could take several thousands of years.

Explanation:

To be specific, the exact number of stars in the galaxy is unknown, it's estimated to have around 100 to 400 billion stars.

But for the sake of this test, let's take as valid a recent study of the European space agency, that believes that we have 100 billion stars orbiting our galaxy.

If you could count 1 every second it would mean you'll need at least 100 billion seconds to do it. How many days is that?

We have:

100 billion seconds = 1.666 billion minutes

1.666 billion minutes = 27.777 million hours

27.777 million hours = 1,157 million days = 3,170 years.

You would need at least, 3170 years of spare time, considering that you will do no other thing than counting stars for the next 3 millennia.
