How much stronger is a 8.0 earthquake than a 5.0 earthquake?
400 Times ___________________ The above may very well be correct; my understanding is that every whole number up represents about a 10-fold increase in energy of a quake. One would conclude that the quake of rating 8 is 10,000 times stronger than a quake of 4. ___________________ 10,000 times is the correct answer
What chemical has 53 neutrons and 42 electrons?
42 electrons implies atomic number of 42, which implies that it's molybdenum. With 42 electrons implies 42 protons implies an atomic mass of 42+53=95 which is 95Mo, one of the stable isotopes of this element. Please see the link.
Which of the following implies that an idea is absolutely true?
Which of the following implies that an idea is absolutely true? belief hypothesis theory law
What is the purpose of an earthquake?
Earthquakes don't really have a purpose; they just happen. "Purpose" implies that the said process can be useful. Rain also occurs naturally, but we use it to cultivate fruits and vegetables. You could say that is its "purpose." Earthquakes, on the other hand, aren't useful to us at all. They can cause massive damage and the kinetic energy involved cannot be harnessed.
What is misleading about the name 'global warming'?
Nothing really. It implies the whole world is heating up, and that is what's happening.
Can particle with constant velocity be accelerating?
No. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction.No. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction.No. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction.No. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction.

Which type of quantities can be expressed by arrows?
Vectors The arrow implies a direction as well as a magnitude.
What happens to an object's velocity when it accelerates?
"Acceleration" implies that the velocity changes.
How many points in 1 cm?
Axiom from 1952: "A point has no magnitude". This implies an infinite number of points in any distance (or area or volume).
What does a positive correlation between variables x and y imply?
It implies that an increase in x is accompanied by an increase in y. And similarly, they decrease together.
Can you go around a curve with constant velocity?
Yes, it is. Trajectory also depends of direction of acceleration, not only it's magnitude. When you consider circular orbit, the agnitude of centripetal acceleration is constant, but the vector directions changes every moment to point constantly at the center.
Which causes more damage a shallow focus or deep focus?
Typically, a shallow focus earthquake will cause more damage than a deep focus earthquake. Shallow focus implies the source of the earthquake is near to the surface, so the waves will lose lesser energy than the deep focus earthquake waves while travelling through the Earth. But it depends on other factors too such as local stratigraphy, and subsurface conditions.
What term implies an increase in body size without any important changes in shape?
the answer is growth, Hole's Anatomy Text
What does incomprehensibities mean?
"Incomprehensibilities" refers to things that are difficult or impossible to understand due to their complexity, obscurity, or magnitude. It implies a state of being beyond comprehension or understanding.
How do you maximize shareholder value?
The policy to maximize shareholder value implies that the shareholder should be consider first, and the primary reason to increase profits. Sadly, this is also a reason for increase in unemployment rates and cutbacks.
Can a vector resultant have a negative direction I have a statics problem and the answer is 77.31 deg in the III quad Negative or Positive Or is the answer 257.31 deg from the horizonal?
A vector has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude is always positive, by convention, but this is not cast in stone. So you can have in your case a positive magnitude with a direction 257.31 degrees, which is the same as a positive magnitude 77.31 degrees in quadrant III, but the first way is more conventional. One could also say a negative magnitude at 77.31 degrees, in which case the negative sign implies a 180 degree reversal. So there are many choices, and you seem to have a good handle on this.
