How does the direction of friction compare to the direction of Motion?
By definition, friction is opposite of the direction of motion.
How does the direction of friction compare to the direct motion?
The direction of the force of friction is opposite of the direction of the motion.
What is air moving parallel to the ground called?
Horizontal force is motion parallel to the ground.
What measures the ground motion during an earthquake?
Seismograph.
How much more ground motion is produced by an easrthquake of magnitude 7.0 than by an earthquake of magnitude 4.0?
ten times as much for each magnitude increase; thus a magnitude 7 is 1000 times more displacement than magnitude 4
How does ground motion produced by a p wave compare to the ground motion produced by surface waves?
The underground motion of a P-wave usually effects the us less than ones near or on the surface.
What is motion perpendicular to the ground?
Vertical motion is the motion that is perpendicular to the ground.
How much more ground motion is produced by an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 than by an earthquake of magnitude 4.0?
0.3 magnitude

horizontal motion
How does a moons motion compare to a planets motion?
They both spin on an axis.
How does a moon's motion compare to a planet's motion?
They both spin on an axis.
What magnitude scale measures ground motion?
The Richter Scale is what measures the ground motion from an earthquake.
How does the direction of friction compare to the direction of Motion?
By definition, friction is opposite of the direction of motion.
How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare to the motion of vertical free fall?
They're equal.
How does the direction of friction compare to the direct motion?
The direction of the force of friction is opposite of the direction of the motion.
