To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.
The velocity is 60 because you divide your distance by your time (240÷4=60)
Answer:
kinetic energy
Explanation:
A wind turbine transforms the mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy. A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator
Answer:
a) If we apply pressure to a fluid in a sealed container, the pressure will be felt undiminished at every point in the fluid and on the walls of the container.
Explanation:
Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:
If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area(A2) of the piston.
P=F/A
P1=P2
F1/ A1= F2/ A2
F2= F1* A2/ A1
The pressure acting on one side is transmitted to all the molecules of the liquid because the liquid is incompressible.
In an incompressible liquid, the volume and amount of mass does not vary when pressure is applied.
