Are Richter Scale Magnitudes or Moment Magnitudes more accurate?

Moment Magnitudes are considered more accurate than Richter Scale Magnitudes because Moment Magnitudes take into account all seismic energy released during an earthquake. Additionally, Moment Magnitudes are more suitable for measuring larger earthquakes, while Richter Scale Magnitudes are more commonly used for smaller earthquakes.

What does it mean that forces can be added or subtracted?

Forces can be added or subtracted when they act in the same or opposite directions, respectively, on an object. When forces are added, their magnitudes combine to produce a net force on the object. When forces are subtracted, their magnitudes are compared to determine the resultant force acting on the object.
