In air, you'd call it air resistance, pilots call it drag.  In water, some call it
water resistance, or just plain drag. 

Whatever it's called, it's the friction between the object and the fluid, plus
the force needed to push the fluid out of the way to let the object get through.

Consider a simple pendulum with a period
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

1. The length is 8.35m

2. The period on the moon is 14.05 secs

Explanation:

1. Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Period (T) = 5.8 secs

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s2

Length (L) =...?

The length can be obtained by using the formula given below:

T = 2π√(L/g)

5.8 = 2π√(L/9.8)

Take the square of both side

(5.8)^2 = 4π^2 x L/ 9.8

Cross multiply

4π^2 x L = (5.8)^2 x 9.8

Divide both side by 4π^2

L = (5.8)^2 x 9.8 / 4π^2

L= 8.35 m

2. Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 1.67 m/s2

Length (L) = 8.35m (the length remains the same)

Period (T) =?

The period can be obtained as follow:

T = 2π√(L/g)

T = 2π√(8.35/1.67)

T = 14.05 secs

Therefore, the period on the moon is 14.05 secs

Explain how do you determine the intensity of earthquake​
Ivanshal [37]

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.
