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.
which motion is caused when two opposite force acting perpendicular to an axis.
Answer:
fiction
Explanation:
When two opposite forces act perpendicular to an axis, it causes rotational motion or torque.
What is the difference between torque and a couple?Torque and couple are both related to rotational motion and are often used interchangeably, but they refer to slightly different concepts.
Torque is a measure of the force that causes an object to rotate around an axis or pivot point.
It is equal to the force applied multiplied by the perpendicular distance between the axis and the line of action of the force. Torque is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. Its unit of measurement is Newton-meters (Nm) or foot-pounds (ft-lbs) in the English system.
A couple, on the other hand, is a pair of equal and opposite forces that act on a body but do not cause it to translate. Instead, they create a pure rotational motion.
A couple generates torque, but unlike a single force, it doesn't have a line of action or a specific point of application. Instead, a couple is characterized by its magnitude and the distance between the forces. Couples are often used in mechanics to model rotational systems and analyze the behavior of rotating bodies.
Torque is the measure of the force that causes rotational motion, while a couple is a pair of forces that create pure rotational motion without causing any translation.
Therefore, If two opposite forces act perpendicular to an axis, it causes rotational motion or torque.

The figure below shows two forces A=15 N and B=5 N acting on an object. What is the
resultant force on the object?
Answer:
18.03 N
Explanation:
From the fiqure below,
Using parallelogram law of vector
R² = 15²+5²-2×5×15cos(180-60)
R² = 225+25-150cos120°
R² = 250-150(-0.5)
R² = 250+75
R² = 325
R = √325
R = 18.03 N
Hence the resultant force of the object is 18.03 N
What is the acceleration of a 24 kg mass pushed by an 8 N force?
Answer:
0.25 m/s squared
Explanation:
Mass of the body (m)= 24kg
Applied force on the body(F)= 6N
Acceleration of the body (a)= ?
Solution
F = ma
a = F/m
a = 6N/24kg
a = 0.25m/s^2
Answer: The acceleration of the body is 0.25m/s^2
I hope this helps
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf a=\frac {1}{3} \ m/s^2}}[/tex]
Explanation:
Force is the product of mass and acceleration.
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
The mass is 24 kilograms and the force is 8 Newtons. Let's convert the Newtons to make the problem easier.
1 Newton is equal to 1 kilogram meter per square second. The force of 8 N equals 8 kg*m/s²Substitute the known values into the formula.
[tex]8 \ kg*m/s^2= (24 \ kg )*a[/tex]
Since we are solving for a, we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 24 kilograms.
[tex]\frac {8 \ kg*m/s^2}{24 \ kg}= \frac{(24 \ kg )*a}{24 \ kg}[/tex]
The kilograms will cancel, hence our earlier unit conversion.
[tex]\frac {8 \ m/s^2}{24 }= a[/tex]
[tex]\frac {1}{3} \ m/s^2=a[/tex]
The acceleration is 1/3 meter per square second.

A.
Can the wave transfer matter?
B.
Can the wave transfer energy?
C.
Can the wave travel through a vacuum?
D.
Can the wave travel through a liquid?
Answer:
A. Can the wave transfer matter?
Explanation:
EMW is made by vibrations of the charged particles and they work on a mechanical waveform. The energy is transferred through a vacuum and thus they need a medium to pass the energy. Thus in order to transport the energy from one place to another, such as a sound wave. Hence first she should have knowledge about the chemical and physical properties of the waves such as can they transfer matter.An egg sinks in fresh water but floats on concentrated salt solution
the salt solution exerts a greater up thrust on the egg which balances the weight of the egg, so the egg floats in a strong salt solution but sinks in fresh water

Answer:
Crest is the highest point that a wave reaches and… Trough the lowest point that a wave reaches............Transverse waves are waves whose particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of wave travel e.g water wave. .....,.......longitudinal I think it's not "longitudin" are waves whose particles vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction of wave travel e.g sound wave
What are the mechanical advantage and mechanical efficiency of a lever that requires an input force of 40 N and lifts and lifts a boulder that weighs 80 N?
Answer:
2 , 200%
Explanation:
Mechanical advantage of a machine is defined as how much the machine multiplies the applied force.
It is given that :
Input force of the lever = 40 N
The weight of the boulder or the output force = 80 N
Therefore, the mechanical advantage = output force / input force
[tex]$=\frac{80}{40}$[/tex]
= 2
Mechanical efficiency is obtained by the dividing the output by the input and multiplying it with 100.
i.e. Efficiency = output / input x 100
[tex]$=\frac{80}{40}\times 100$[/tex]
= 200 %

You flip a coin straight up if the coin reaches a high point of 0.25 m above where you released it what was the initial speed?
Answer: 2.21 m/s
Explanation:
Given
Coin reaches a height of 0.25 m above the launch point
Suppose u is the initial speed of the coin
Using the equation of motion
[tex]\Rightarrow v^2-u^2=2as\\[/tex]
Putting values
[tex]\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2\times g\times s=2\times (-9.8)\times 0.25\\\Rightarrow u^2=4.9\\\Rightarrow u=2.21\ m/s[/tex]
Thus, the initial velocity is 2.21 m/s
If the pelican was traveling 8.79 m/s but was only 2.7 m above the water, how far would the fish travel horizontally before hitting the water below?
Answer:
6.52m
Explanation:
The horizontal distance travelled is known as its range. This is expressed as;
Range = u* √2H/g
u is the speed of the pelican
H is the maximum height
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Range = 8.79*√2(2.7)/9.8
Range = 8.79 * √5.4/9.8
range = 8.79*√0.5510
Range = 8.79*0.7423
Range = 6.52
Hence the fish will travel 6.52m before hitting the water below
A force of 100N stretches an elastic string to a total length of 20cm. if an additional force of 100N stretches the spring 5 cm further, find the natural length of the spring if the elastic limit is not exceeded. Pls help ASAP
Answer:
8cm
Explanation:
The general formula to find this is F/X where in this case the f is the total of the two forces (100+100) and x is the sum of the length ( 20+5) which together comes 200&25respectively then divide 200 with 25 which comes 8cm.

A goose flying south for the winter travels 55 miles directly south east (45 degrees) and then flies at an angle of 35 degrees Northeast for 75 miles. How far and in what direction did the goose travel?
Answer:
Part A
The distance from the start point the goose travels is approximately 84.96 miles
Part B
The direction the goose travel is approximately 71° Northeast
Explanation:
Part A
The distances the goose flies is given as follows;
The distance directly 45 degrees southeast the goose travels, AB = 55 miles
The distance Northeast the goose travels, BC = 75 miles
The angle Northeast the goose travels = 35°
From the attached drawing of the path the goose travels, we have, by cosine rule, the following relation;
a² = b² + c² - 2·b·c·cos(A)
Therefore, we have;
The length of side [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex]² = 55² + 75² - 2 × 55 × 75 × cos(80°) = 7217.40253425
[tex]\overline{AC}[/tex] = √(7217.40253425) ≈ 84.9552972701
The distance from the start point the goose travels ≈ 84.96 miles
Part B
By sine rule, we have;
75/(sin(A)) = [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex]/(sin(80°))
sin(A) = (75/[tex]\overline{AC}[/tex]) × (sin(80°)
∴ sin(A) = (75/84.9552972701) × (sin(80°) = 0.8694052016
∠A = arcsin(0.8694052016) = 60.3895991264° ≈ 60.4°
The direction the goose travel = 180 - 64 - 45 = 71°
∴ The direction the goose travel =≈ 71° Northeast
