Answer:
The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.
Answer:
The time it takes the proton to return to the horizontal plane is 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s
Explanation:
From Newton's second law, F = mg and also from coulomb's law F= Eq
Dividing both equations by mass;
F/m = Eq/m = mg/m, then
g = Eq/m --------equation 1
Again, in a projectile motion, the time of flight (T) is given as
T = (2usinθ/g) ---------equation 2
Substitute in the value of g into equation 2

Charge of proton = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C
Mass of proton = 1.67 X 10⁻²⁷ kg
E is given as 400 N/C, u = 3.0 × 10⁴ m/s and θ = 30°
Solving for T;

T = 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s
