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:
Explanation:
Givens
Vi = 10 m/s
Vf = 40 m/s
a = 3 m/s^2
Formula
a = (vf - vi) /t Substitute the givens into this formuls
Solution
3 = (40 - 10) / t Multiply both sides by t
3*t = t(40 - 10)/t Combine. Cancel t's on the right
3*t = 30 Divide by 3
3t/3 = 30 / 3
Answer: t = 10 seconds.
