Which location, 23 degrees or 48 degrees would experience the same earthquake at stronger intensity?Explain why.​

Physics
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

48 degress

Explanation:

An earthquake causes many different intensities of shaking in the area of the epicenter where it occurs. So the intensity of an earthquake will vary depending on where you are. Sometimes earthquakes are referred to by the maximum intensity they produce. In the United States, we use the Modified Mercalli Scale. Earthquake intensity is a ranking based on the observed effects of an earthquake in each particular place. Therefore, each earthquake produces a range of intensity values, ranging from highest in the epicenter area to zero at a distance from the epicenter.

You heat up a 3.0 kg aluminum pot with 1.5 kg of water from 5 to 90o Celsius. The specific heat capacity of Aluminum is 900 J/kg
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

<em>765,000Joules or 765kJ</em>

Explanation:

The Quantity of heat required is expressed as;

Q = (mcΔt)al + (mcΔt)water

m is the mass

c is specific heat capacity

Δt is the change in temperature

Q = (3(900)(90-5)) + (1.5(4200)(90-5))

Q = 2700*85 + 6300*85

Q = (2700+6300)85

Q = 9000*85

<em>Q = 765,000</em>

<em>Hence the amount of energy needed is 765,000Joules or 765kJ</em>

Can someone explain the law of conservation of energy?
Bad White [126]
The law of conservation of energy is:

-- Energy can't be created or destroyed.

-- Energy can't just appear out of nowhere.  If you suddenly have
more energy, then the 'extra' energy had to come from somewhere.

-- Energy can't just disappear.  If you suddenly have less energy,
then the 'missing' energy had to go somewhere.
________________________________________

There are also conservation laws for mass and electric charge.
They say exactly the same thing.  Just write 'mass' or 'charge'
in the sentences up above, in place of the word 'energy'.
________________________________________

And now I can tell you that the conservation laws for energy and mass
are actually one single law ... the conservation of mass/energy.  That's
because we discovered about 100 years ago that mass can convert
into energy, and energy can convert into mass, and it's the total of BOTH
of them that gets conserved (can't be created or destroyed).

How much mass makes how much energy ?

The answer is        E = m c²  .

An astronaut with a mass of 91 kg is 0.30 m above the moons surface. The astronauts potential energy is 46 J. Calculate the free
Blababa [14]

Answer:

the free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1.68 m/s^2

Explanation:

recall the formula for the gravitational potential energy (under acceleration of gravity "g"):

PE = m * g * h

replacing with our values for the problem:

46 J = 91 * g * 0.3

solve for the "g" on the Moon:

g = 46 / (91 * 0.3)

g = 1.68  m/s^2
