Answer:

The intensity of the 2011 earthquake was about 6 times the intensity of the 2003 earthquake.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the intensities, we first need to convert the magnitudes to intensities using the log formula. Then we will set up a ratio to compare the intensities.

Convert the magnitudes to intensities and write them in exponential form.

R=logI

2011 earthquake:

9.1I=logI=109.1

2003 earthquake:

8.3I=logI=108.3

Form a ratio of the intensities.

intensity for 2011intensity for 2003

Substitute in the values and divide by subtracting the exponents to find

109.1108.3100.8≈6.

The intensity of the 2011 earthquake was about 6 times the intensity of the 2003 earthquake.

Your answer:

The intensity of the 2011 earthquake was about 15 times the intensity of the 2003 earthquake.

An Archer shoots an arrow horizontally at 250 feet per second. The bullseye on the target and the arrow are initially at the sam
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

<h2>1.84feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for finding range in projectile, Since range is the distance covered in the horizontal direction;

Range R = U\sqrt{\frac{H}{g} }

U is the velocity of the arrow

H is the maximum height reached = distance below the bullseye reached by the arrow.

R is the horizontal distance covered i.e the distance of the target from the archer.

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given R = 60ft, U = 250ft/s, g = 32ft/s H = ?

On substitution,

60 = 250\sqrt{\frac{H}{32}} \\\frac{60}{250} = \sqrt{\frac{H}{32}}\\\frac{6}{25} = \sqrt{\frac{H}{32}

Squaring both sides we have;

(\frac{6}{25} )^{2} = (\sqrt{\frac{H}{32} } )^{2} \\\frac{36}{625} =  \frac{H}{32} \\625H = 36*32\\H = \frac{36*32}{625} \\H = 1.84feet

The arrow will hit the target 1.84feet below the bullseye.

PLEASE HELPPPPPP<br> The perimeter is 50 ft and the length is 15 ft.<br> What's the width?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume it's a rectangle, therefore:

P = 50

a = 15 ft

b = ?

P = 2a + 2b

50 = 2 * 15 + 2b

50 = 30 + 2b

2b = 50 - 30

2b = 20

b = 10
