Mercalli Intensity Scale:

<em> is a seismic intensity scale used for measuring the intensity of an earthquake. ... It is distinct from the moment magnitude (Mw) usually reported for an earthquake, which is a measure of the energy released (sometimes misreported as the Richter magnitude, ML).</em>

Answer: The correct answer is "Mercalli intensity scale".

Explanation:

Mercalli Intensity Scale: It is an effect of an earthquake on the surface of the earth. It depicts the shaking severity. It measures the amount of damage after an earthquake or It measures the destruction.

Richter scale: It describes the magnitude of the earthquake by measuring the seismic wave. It is the energy released by the an earthquake.

Therefore, Mercalli intensity scale measures the amount of damage after an earthquake.

What does basketballs have inside of it
FrozenT [24]
Hi there!

Great question!

Basketballs have air inside them. A special pump is used to insert the air. That's why you can lift the basketballs off the ground easily. If it was a solid, though, you'd hardly be able to lift the ball up! Basketballs can float, too, because anything with air inside can float. If it were solid, it would sink in the water easily.

Hope this helps! :D

A weight lifter lifts a dumbbell a certain height in 2.0 s, while a competitor does the same workin 1.0 s. Compared to the power
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a. one-half as great

Explanation:

The power developed by the first lifter is one-half as great as that of the second person.

  Power is defined as the rate at which work is done;

          Power  = \frac{workdone}{time}

Since the two lifters do the same work at different time, let us estimate their power;

       P₁ = \frac{workdone}{2}                     P₂ = \frac{workdone }{1}

   We see that for P₁, power is half of the work done whereas in P₂ power is the same as the work done.

Therefore,

           The power of the first weight lifter is one-half the second lifter.

Identify the forces acting on the cars and explain why the cars do not slide down the hill
Dvinal [7]
<span>Examples of outside forces acting on a car is gravity, wind, and other cars. Cars do not slide down hills because their weight, combined with the friction of their tires against the road, hold them in place. </span>
