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>

The same ball is shot straight up a second time from the same gun, but this time the spring is compressed only half as far befor
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The new height the ball will reach = (1/4) of the initial height it reached.

Explanation:

The energy stored in any spring material is given as (1/2)kx²

This energy is converted to potential energy, mgH, of the ball at its maximum height.

If the initial height reached is H

And the initial compression of the spring = x

So, mgH = (1/2)kx²

H = kx²/2mg

The new compression, x₁ = x/2

New energy of loaded spring = (1/2)kx₁²

And the new potential energy = mgH₁

mgH₁ = (1/2)kx₁²

But x₁ = x/2

mgH₁ = (1/2)k(x/2)² = kx²/8

H₁ = kx²/8mg = H/4 (provided all the other parameters stay constant)

The potential difference in a simple circuit is 2 v and the resistance is 2 ω . what current flows in the circuit? answer in uni
balandron [24]
Hey

Potential Difference given is : 2V

Resistance is : 2 ohms

By Ohm's Law, one can easily utilize the relation :

v = ir

Where, { v , i , r } are the potential difference, current and Resistance Respectively.


Hence,
i =  \frac{v}{r}  =  \frac{2}{2}  = 1a

Hence, the Current is 1 Ampere

Explain how the thermal energy of an isolated system changes with time if the mechanical energy of that system is constant.​
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Thermal energy of an isolated system changes with time If the mechanical energy of that system is constant according to the first law of thermodynamics, which states that thermal energy of an isolated system can still change as long as the total energy of that system does not change.

Calculate the momentum of a Lion of mass 130-kg and moving at a speed of 22.3 m/s [W]
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

<h2>289.9 kg.m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question we have

momentum = 130 × 22.3

We have the final answer as

<h3>289.9 kg.m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you
