Answer:

The amount of the energy released at earthquake source.

Explanation:

Earthquakes are measured in two different ways.

  • Based on magnitude which is the amount of the energy released at earthquake source.
  • Based on intensity which is the quantification of how much of the ground shakes at the location.

Measurements on moment magnitude scale are determined using complex mathematical formula to convert the motion recorded with seismometer into the number which represents amount of energy released during earthquake.

1.Which statement best describes scientific laws
gtnhenbr [62]
In a way, all of the answers could be argued for (for example: in the first option: if the scientists' opinions are understood to be "informed understanding of the causes of events"), but one of the options is the best:
Scientific laws describe specific relationships in nature without offering
an explanation.

The reason why  I think this is true is that many laws are phased too short and too concise to provide comprehensive explanations, instead they describe the relationships that must hold.


One of the options is pplain false:
Scientific laws explain why natural events occur. -"Scientific laws were theories that have been tested, proven, and adopted as laws." - since they are not adopted as laws.

An atom of gold has a mass of 3.271 X 10-22 g. How many atoms of gold are in 5.00 g of gold? (Give your answer in scientific not
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

1.53 × 10²² atoms Ag

Explanation:

Step 1: Define conversions

3.271 × 10⁻²² g = 1 atom

Step 2: Use Dimensional Analysis

5.00 \hspace{3} g \hspace{3} Ag(\frac{1 \hspace{3} atom \hspace{3} Ag}{3.271(10)^{-22} \hspace{3} g \hspace{3} Ag} ) = 1.52858 × 10²² atoms Ag

Step 3: Simplify

We have 3 sig figs.

1.52858 × 10²² atoms Ag ≈ 1.53 × 10²² atoms Ag
