Newton's First Law of Motion

If a very smooth ball is rolled down an inclined surface with zero friction, the ball will continue to roll indefinitely for an infinite time, in an attempt to reach to the same height on the opposite hill!

Textbook Question

Chapter 27, Problem 35TS

The Richter scale measure how much the ground shakes in an earthquake. Note that this is not equal to the energy released by an earthquake. However, there is a simple relationship between Richter magnitude and earthquake energy.

A 1- point increase on the Richter scale corresponds to

an energy increase of about 30 times. Thus, a 5.0-magnitude

earthquake releases about 30 times as much energy as

4.0-magnitude earthquake. The 5.0-magnitude earth-

quake releases about 900 ( 30 × 30 ) times the energy of a

3.0-magnitude quake.

(a) How much more energy does an 8.0-magnitudes earthquake release that a 7.0-magnititude earthquake?

(b) How much more energy does a 7.0-magnitudes earthquake release that a 5.0-magnititude earthquake?

(d) How much less energy does a 6.0-magnitudes earthquake release that a 7.0-magnititude earthquake?
