The instrument to measure wind resistance is called an anemometer or wind-meter. It is a common instrument used in weather stations.


What is a sesmograph?

A seismograph is an instrument used to record vibrations in or on a planet.


What is the term that refers to the strength of earthquakes as measured by seismic waves and movement along faults?

The term for the instrument that measures the seismic waves of earthquakes along faults or tectonic plates is known as a seismograph. These machines measure the force given off by the trembling of the ground due to the force of an earthquake. The strength is measured as magnitude on the "Richter scale" which is a logarithmic quantity. For example, the motion generated by a quake of magnitude 5 on the Richter scale is 10 times as large as that generated by a quake of magnitude 4.


The Richter scale measures magnitude or intensity?

Magnitude


What instrument measures the mass an of earthquake?

Earthquakes do not have mass as such. Rather they have magnitude and intensity. Magnitude is the amount of energy released by the earthquake so should ultimately have units in joules. Both earthquake magnitude and intensity can be estimated from the amplitude of seismic waves as recorded on a seismometer.


How do you find the magnitude in force?

Actually you answer itself is wrong. You can only find the magnitude of force, not the magnitude in force. You can find the magnitude of force by s = (1/2)*a*t^2
