Answer:

(177.94 ± 3.81) cm^2

Explanation:

l + Δl = 21.7 ± 0.2 cm

b + Δb = 8.2 ± 0.1 cm

Area, A = l x b = 21.7 x 8.2 = 177.94 cm^2

Now use error propagation

\frac{\Delta A}{A}=\frac{\Delta l}{l}+\frac{\Delta b}{b}

\frac{\Delta A}{A}=\frac{0.2}{21.7}+\frac{0.1}{8.2}

\Delta A=177.94 \times \left ( 0.0092 + 0.0122 \right )=3.81

So, the area with the error limits is written as

A + ΔA = (177.94 ± 3.81) cm^2

Compare an earthquake with a Richter scale magnitude of 5.5 to one with a magnitude of 7.5.
maksim [4K]
The 7.5 is a 100 times stronger than the 5.5 . The 100 comes from the increase in scale from 5.5 to 7.5 which is an increase of two so you multiply the strength of the weaker earthquake 10^7-5=10^2=100 and that gives you the strength of the stronger earthquake!

Ep = F * d
F = 20 N
d = 5 m
Ep = 20 N  * 5 m
Ep = 100 J

So pick B. A Newton Meter is a joule.
