Answer:
6.309573e+16 joule is released by an earthquake of magnitude 8
Answer:
2625 m deep
Explanation:
Let the sound speed in sea water be 1500 m/s. If he hears the echo 3.5s after the strike, then the sound would have traveled a distance of 1500 * 3.5 = 5250 m to the bottom and back. This would mean the ocean is 5250 / 2 = 2625 m deep.
Answer:
Explanation:
The time period of a simple pendulum is given by :
L is length of the pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity
At the bottom of Death valley, g = 9.8 m/s²
We need to find the value of g if the period of the pendulum is decreased by 5.00%.
T'=(T-0.05T)= 0.95 T
So, the new value of acceleration due to gravity is .
