Answer:

The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.

Answer:

To measure the magnitude of an earthquake, the American scientist Charles Richter developed a scale in 1935. Known as the <u>Richter scale</u>, it assigns a number based on the height of the waves on a seismogram (the visual output of a seismograph). Seismographs measure ground motion, including the energy released by an earthquake.

natulia [17]
No, because an atom consists of two main parts and three subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons DO NOT affect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.

A mass suspended from a spring is oscillating up and down as indicated. Consider the following possibilities. A At some point du
dangina [55]

A mass suspended from a spring is oscillating up and down, (as stated but not indicated).

A). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity but its acceleration is non-zero (can be either positive or negative).  <em>Yes. </em> This statement is true at the top and bottom ends of the motion.

B). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity and zero acceleration.  No.  If the mass is bouncing, this is never true.  It only happens if the mass is hanging motionless on the spring.

C). At some point during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity (can be either positive or negative) but has zero acceleration.  <em>Yes.</em>  This is true as the bouncing mass passes through the "zero point" ... the point where the upward force of the stretched spring is equal to the weight of the mass.  At that instant, the vertical forces on the mass are balanced, and the net vertical force is zero ... so there's no acceleration at that instant, because (as Newton informed us), A = F/m .  

D). At all points during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity and has nonzero acceleration (either can be positive or negative).  No.  This can only happen if the mass is hanging lifeless from the spring.  If it's bouncing, then It has zero velocity at the top and bottom extremes ... where acceleration is maximum ... and maximum velocity at the center of the swing ... where acceleration is zero.
