<h2>Answer: 1 to 12. </h2>

The Mercalli seismological scale is a scale of 12 degrees, 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 Mercalli scale measures how strong a earthquake has been by its consequences and not by its magnitude, therefore it is based on empirical observations.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

$\ \text{m/s}$

Explanation:

$u_1$ = Velocity of one lump = $3x+3y-3z$

$u_2$ = Velocity of the other lump = $-4x+0y-4z$

m = Mass of each lump = $30\ \text{g}$

The collision is perfectly inelastic as the lumps stick to each other so we have the relation

$mu_1+mu_2=(m+m)v\\\Rightarrow m(u_1+u_2)=2mv\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{u_1+u_2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3x+3y-3z-4x+0y-4z}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=-0.5x+1.5y-3.5z=\ \text{m/s}$

The velocity of the stuck-together lump just after the collision is $\ \text{m/s}$ .

What is the repulsive force between two pith balls that are 8.00 cm apart and have equal charges of – 30.0 nC?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$F=1.26*10^{-3}N$

Explanation:

Assuming the pith balls as point charges, we can calculate the repulsive force between them, using Coulomb's law:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

We observe that the magnitude of the electric force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both signed charges( $q_1,q_2$ ) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d) that separates them.

Replacing the given values, where k is the Coulomb constant:

$F=\frac{8.99*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}(-30*10^{-9}C)(-30*10^{-9}C)}{(8*10^{-2}m)^2}\\F=1.26*10^{-3}N$

How To:

How do you add two vectors?

To add or subtract two vectors, add or subtract the corresponding components. Let →u=⟨u1,u2⟩ and →v=⟨v1,v2⟩ be two vectors. The sum of two or more vectors is called the resultant. The resultant of two vectors can be found using either the parallelogram method or the triangle method .
