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 Richter scale, 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.

Calculate the heat, in kilocalories, that is absorbed if 183 g of ice at 0.0 ∘C is placed in an ice bag, melts, and warms to bod

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The total amount of heat needed will be $Q_T=21.411kcal$ .

Explanation:

We will divide the calculation in two: First, the heat needed to melt the ice, and then the heat needed to warm the resulting liquid from 0°C to 37°C.

$m=183g$

$l_f=80\frac{cal}{g} =334\frac{J}{g}$

$l_w=1\frac{cal}{g} =4.184\frac{J}{g}$

i) The fusion heat will be:

$Q_f=l_fm=14640cal=14.640kcal$

ii) The heat needed to warm the water from $T_i=0^{\circ}C$ to $T_i=37^{\circ}C$ will be:

$Q_w=l_wm(T_f-T_i)=6771cal=6.771kcal$

So, the total amount needed will be the sum of these two results:

$Q_T=Q_f+Q_w=14.640kcal+6.771kcal=21.411kcal$ .

Newton’s third law in football?

trapecia [35]

Newtons third law of motion applies to football as when the ball is thrown, force is applied to the football thrown forward and also force back to the player. Therefore it states that every action has a reaction. The player does not get a huge force back from throwing the football due to the player having a bigger mass than the football being thrown.

In short, when the football is throw, there is a reaction with the ball and the player accordingly with the force put into the ball.

A 50 kg archer standing on frictionless ice shoots a 100g arrow at a speed of 100 m/s what uis the recoild pseed of the archer?

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

v= 0.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁ = 50 kg

m₂ = 100 g = 0.1 kg

u =10 0 m/s

If there is no any external force on the system then the total linear momentum of the system will be conserve.
