The 1906 earthquake in San Francisco had a magnitude of 8.3 on the richter scale. At the same time in Japan an earthquake with magnitude of 4.9 caused minor damage. How many times more was the San Francisco earthquake that the Japan earthquake?

Answers

Answer 1

In 1906 in San Francisco the magnitude of earthquake on richter scale was 8.3.

In the same year the magnitude of earthquake on richter scale in Japan was 4.9.

Now we have to find how many times more was the San Francisco earthquake that the Japan earthquake.

The amount of energy released in an earthquake is very large, so a logarithmic scale avoids the use of large numbers.



The formula used for these calculations is:

[tex]M=log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_{0}})[/tex]

Where M is the magnitude on the richter scale,  I is the intensity of the earthquake being measured and I₀ is the intensity of a reference earthquake.

So because the magnitude is a base 10 log, the Richter number is actually the exponent that 10 is raised to in order to calculate the intensity of the earthquake.



So the difference in magnitudes of the earthquakes can be calculated as follows:

[tex]M=log_{10}(\frac{10^{8.3}}{10^{4.9})}[/tex]

M=3.4

Answer: The San Francisco earthquake was 3.4 times more than Japan earthquake.

Answer 2

Final answer:

The San Francisco earthquake released approximately 2510 times more energy than the earthquake in Japan, calculated using the Richter scale.

Explanation:

To determine how many times stronger the San Francisco earthquake was compared to the earthquake in Japan, we refer to the Richter scale, which is a logarithmic scale. A one-unit increase on this scale represents a ten-fold increase in amplitude of the seismic waves and roughly a thirty-fold increase in energy released. Therefore, to calculate the difference between a magnitude 8.3 earthquake and a magnitude 4.9 earthquake, we subtract the smaller magnitude from the larger one (8.3 - 4.9 = 3.4) and then calculate 10 raised to the power of this difference.

[tex]10^(3.4)[/tex] = 10 x 10 x 10 x 2.51 (approximately), which simplifies to about 2510 times more energy released by the San Francisco earthquake compared to the earthquake in Japan.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2(l+w).

Solve for w.




w=2P−l

w=p−l/2

w=p/2−l

w=P/2+l

Answers

P = 2(l + w)
P/2 = 2/2(l + w)
P/2 = l + w
P/2 - l = l - l + w
p/2 - l = w
w = p/2 - l

The formula for 'w' in terms of the perimeter 'P' and length 'l' of the rectangle is w = (P - 2l)/2.

To solve for 'w' in the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, P = 2(l + w), we need to isolate 'w' on one side of the equation.

P = 2(l + w)

First, distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses:

P = 2l + 2w

Now, subtract 2l from both sides to move it to the other side of the equation:

P - 2l = 2w

Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for 'w':

w = (P - 2l)/2

Therefore, the formula for 'w' in terms of the perimeter 'P' and length 'l' of the rectangle is:

w = (P - 2l)/2

a.
60 mph
b.
65 mph
c.
70 mph
d.
75 mph

Answers

For this case we have:

We define the following variable

x : Speed of the car in South direction

By definition, we know that:

[tex]Distance = Speed * Time[/tex]

For the car in north direction:

[tex]D1 = V1 * T1\\D1 = 50mph * 3h\\D1 = 150 miles[/tex]

For the car in south direction:

[tex]D2 = V2 * T2\\D2 = x * 3\\D2 = 3x[/tex]

The distance between both cars, after 3 hours, is:

[tex]D = D1 + D2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]345 = 150 + 3x[/tex]

Clearing x;

[tex]3x = 345-150\\3x = 195\\x = 65[/tex]

Answer:

C. 1/3(3x)

Step-by-step explanation:

To verify if two functions are inverse, we have to find the composition of such functions, that is:

[tex]f(g(x))[/tex]; which results must be the variable [tex]x[/tex] to be inverse functions.

We know that: [tex]f(x)=3x;g(x)=\frac{1}{3}x[/tex].

Find the value of x (3x+31)° (2x-6)°

Answers

Angle (3x+31)° and angle (2x-6)° are supplementary angles. Then the value of the variable x is 31°.

What is an angle?

The angle is the distance between the intersecting lines or surfaces. The angle is also expressed in degrees. The angle is 360 degrees for one complete spin.

Supplementary angle - Two angles are said to be supplementary angles if their sum is 180 degrees.

Angle (3x+31)° and angle (2x-6)° are supplementary angles. Then we have

(3x + 31)° + (2x - 6)° = 180°

5x + 25° = 180°

5x = 155°

x = 31°

Then the value of the variable x is 31°.

Now,

Set up the equation: (3x + 31) + (2x - 6) = 180

=>  (3x + 2x) + (31 - 6) = 180

Human body temperatures have a mean of 98.20 degrees Fahrenheit and a standard deviation of 0.62 degrees Fahrenheit. Convert 103.00 degrees Fahrenheit to a z-score and determine if it is usual of unusual. Unusual means that the z-score is more than 2 standard deviations below or above the mean.

Answers

Answer:

z-score will be:  7.741....  and it will be unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Human body temperatures have a mean of 98.20 degrees Fahrenheit and a standard deviation of 0.62 degrees Fahrenheit.

So here,  [tex]\mu= 98.20[/tex] and [tex]\sigma= 0.62[/tex]

Formula for z-score is:   [tex]z= \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Thus, the z-score for 103.00 degrees Fahrenheit will be.......

[tex]z(X=103.00)= \frac{103.00-98.20}{0.62}=7.741...[/tex]

As, here the z-score is more than 2 standard deviations above the mean, so 103.00 degrees Fahrenheit is unusual for human body temperature.

What is the focus of the parabola given by `-(1)/(4)(y + 2)^2 = (x −1)`? A. (-1, 2) B. (1, -2) C. (0, -2) D. (0, 2)

The correct answer is that the focus is, (0,−2)

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

[tex]-\frac{1}{4}(y+2)^2=(x-1)[/tex]

Multiply both the sides by -4.

[tex](y+2)^2=-4(x-1)[/tex]            .... (1)

Where, (h,k) is vertex and (h+p,k) is focus.

The standard form of a parabola is

[tex](y-k)^2=4p(x-h)[/tex]              ..... (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

[tex]k=-2,h=1,4p=-4\Rightarrow p=-1[/tex]

The focus of the parabola is

[tex](h+p,k)=(1-1,-2)=(0,-2)[/tex]

The focus of the given parabola is (0,-2). Therefore the correct option is C.

What is fraction?

A fraction is a part of a whole. In arithmetic, the number is expressed as a quotient, in which the numerator is divided by the denominator. In a simple fraction, both are integers. A complex fraction has a fraction in the numerator or denominator. In a proper fraction, the numerator is less than the denominator.
