The mercalli scale is a scale from ________.

Physics
1 answer:
Mashcka [7]3 years ago
6 0
<h2>Answer: 1 to 12. </h2>

<u>The Mercalli seismological scale is a scale of 12 degrees</u>, where 1 is very weak and 12 catastrophic.

This scale owes its name to the Italian physicist Giuseppe Mercalli and was developed to assess the intensity of earthquakes through the effects and damages caused to different structures.

This means the <u>Mercalli scale measures how strong a earthquake has been by </u><u>its consequences and not by its magnitude</u><u>, therefore it is based on </u><u>empirical observations.</u>

Find the acceleration of an 800-kg car that has a net force of 4,000 N acting upon it.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car is 5m/s²

Explanation:

Given data

Force F= 4,000N

Mass of car m= 800kg

Acceleration a= ?

Applying the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the external force and takes place in the direction of the force

F=ma

a= F/m

a= 4000/800

a=5m/s²

A lump of clay whose rest mass is 4 kg is travelling at three-fifths the speed of light when it collides head-on with an identic
Harman [31]

Answer:

mass of the composite lump is 10 kg

Explanation:

given data

mass = 4 kg

to find out

mass of composite lump

solution

we know energy is conserved so

so m1 = m2 = m0 that is 4kg

and

E(1) release+ E(2) release = E(1,2) rest

so γ(1)m(1)c² + γ(2)m(2)c²  = Mc²    ..........................1

that why here

|v(1)| = |v(2)| = 3/5 c        ......................2

and

γ = 1 / √(1 − v²/c²)           .......................3

put here v = 3 and c is 5

γ = 1 /√(1 − 9/25)

γ =  5/4

so

γ(1) = γ(2) = γ = 5/4  

so from equation 1

γ(1)m(1)c² + γ(2)m(2)c²  = Mc²

M = 2γm0

M = 2(5/4 )(4)

M = 10 kg

so mass of the composite lump is 10 kg

A positively charged insulating rod is brought close to an object that is suspended by a string. If the object is repelled away
Trava [24]

Answer

A)   Positively charged two insulating rod are brought closed to an object  they repel each other. It means the Object is positively charged. Because similar charge repel each other.

   The correct answer is Option A.

B) we know force between to charges is calculated using Formula

         F = \dfrac{kQ_1Q_2}{r^2}.......(1)

   form the given condition in the question

          F' = \dfrac{k\dfrac{Q_1}{4}\dfrac{Q_2}{4}}{(\dfrac{r}{2})^2}

          F' = \dfrac{k\dfrac{Q_1}{4}\dfrac{Q_2}{4}}{(\dfrac{r^2}{4})}

          F' = \dfrac{4}{16}\dfrac{kQ_1Q_2}{r^2}

from equation (1)

          F' = \dfrac{F}{4}

hence, the correct answer is Option C.

The table below shows the distance d(t) in feet that an object travels in t seconds:
vazorg [7]
The rate of change of d(t) at t = 2 and t = 6 is the ratio between the change of distance (difference between the distances) to the time elapsed. That is,
                                   r = (576 - 64) / (6 - 2) = 128 ft /s
The rate of change is equal to 128 ft/s and this represents the average speed at this time interval.
