The mercalli scale is a scale from ________.

Physics
1 answer:
Mashcka [7]3 years ago

<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>

A box with mass (m) it's sliding along on a friction-free surface at 9.87 m/s at a height of 1.81 meters. It travels down the hi
Rus_ich [418]
A) The answer is 11.53 m/s

The final kinetic energy (KEf) is the sum of initial kinetic energy (KEi) and initial potential energy (PEi).
KEf = KEi + PEi

Kinetic energy depends on mass (m) and velocity (v)
KEf = 1/2 m * vf²
KEi = 1/2 m * vi²

Potential energy depends on mass (m), acceleration (a), and height (h):
PEi = m * a * h

So:
KEf = KEi + <span>PEi
</span>1/2 m * vf² =  1/2 m * vi² + m * a * h
..
Divide all sides by m:
1/2 vf² =  1/2 vi² + a * h

We know:
vi = 9.87 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s²
h = 1.81 m

1/2 vf² =  1/2 * 9.87² + 9.8 * 1.81
1/2 vf² = 48.71 + 17.74
1/2 vf² = 66.45
vf² = 66.45 * 2
vf² = 132.9
vf = √132.9
vf = 11.53 m/s


b) The answer is 6.78 m

The kinetic energy at the bottom (KE) is equal to the potential energy at the highest point (PE)
KE = PE

Kinetic energy depends on mass (m) and velocity (v)
KE = 1/2 m * v²

Potential energy depends on mass (m), acceleration (a), and height (h):
PE = m * a * h

KE = PE
1/2 m * v² = m * a * h

Divide both sides by m:
1/2 * v² = a * h
v = 11.53 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s² 
h = ?

1/2 * 11.53² = 9.8 * h
1/2 * 132.94 = 9.8 * h
66.47 = 9.8 * h
h = 66.47 / 9.8
h = 6.78 m

If a non-rotating object has no acceleration, then we can say for certain that it is:__________
EleoNora [17]

We may be positive that an object is in mechanical equilibrium if it is not rotating and experiences no acceleration.

<h3>What is mechanical equilibrium?</h3>

There are numerous other definitions for mechanical equilibrium that are all mathematically comparable in addition to the definition in terms of force. A system is in equilibrium in terms of momentum if the component motions are all constant. If velocity is constant, the system is in equilibrium in terms of velocity. When an item is in a state of rotational mechanical equilibrium, its angular momentum is preserved and its net torque is zero. More generally, equilibrium is reached in conservative systems at a configuration space location where the gradient of the potential energy concerning the generalized coordinates is zero.

A ball traveling at 15 m/s hits a bat with a force of 200N. How much force does the bat (moving at 20m/s)
just olya [345]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball traveling at 15 m/s hits a bat with a force of 200 N.

We need to find the force that the bat moving at 20 m/s hit the ball with.

We know that, this probelm is based on Newton's third law of motion. The force that the ball exerting on bat should be equal to the force that the bat exerting in the ball but in opposite direction.

It would mean that the ball hits the ball with a force of 200 N. Hence, the correct option is (a).
