What happens if you are close to an active earthquake?
depends.. probably an aftershock or something t\depending how hard hte force was and how close to the epicenter you are
How many kilograms are in 4.4 N?
None. A kilogram is a measure of mass. A Newton is a measure of force. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. Incidentally, mass and force are related by the formula: F = m*a where a is the acceleration caused by the force.Divide the number of newtons by gravity; close to Earth, this gravity is approximately 9.8.Note: You can't really convert between kilograms and newtons; one is a mass, one is a force.
What are the units of force and how would you measure a force?
Newtons (N) Measure force with strain gauges (or load cells)
Is a deep earthquake worse then a shallow earthquake?
It depends, but 'shallow' (refering to the 'focus') earthquakes hit, usally, with a bigger force. This is because if the focus is closer to the surface of the earth (like in the Kobe earthquake) then the siesmic waves do not have as far to travel to reach the surface. But you can still have a deep focus with a big impact: if the siesmic waves are more powerful.
You measure ot in newtons?
a newton is a measure of force

IS Earthquake is force or motion?
An earthquake is a force craking in the air.
Can you give me a sentence with the phrase Richter scale?
The May 2015 earthquake that hit Nepal registered 7.8 on the Richter scale.Two weeks later, a 7.3 Richter scale earthquake hit very close to Mount Everest.The Richter scale is a standardized method to measure and report the force of seismic waves that earthquakes produce.
What is seismography?
Used to measure earthquake activity with sound waves.
How much force does earthquake intensity 5 produce?
magnitude of an earthquake can be determined from the data ... an empirical quantitative ranking of the earthquake's inherent size or strength ... Another way to measure the size of an earthquake is to compute how much ... length with an average seismogenic width of 100km to produce an Mw10.5.
What is a constructive force of a nature?
A earthquake
Does the frictional force depends on the contact area?
The contact area hardly affects the frictional force. The frictional force depends on the normal force, and the coefficient of friction, which is a property you have to look up (or measure) for every pair of materials.
What is the difference between the greater force and a weaker force?
its gravity because it depends on how close of far apart gravity is between the object
What is the difference between a greater force and a weaker force?
its gravity because it depends on how close of far apart gravity is between the object
What force of gravitational force?
The gravitational force depends on the masses involved and on the distance between them. In the case of an object close to Earth's surface, the force is approximately 9.8 newton per kilogram.
Do you need to know the mass of an object to calculate force?
It depends on what else you know. If you know the mass and can measure the acceleration, you can use that to calculate force, but there are other ways to calculate force.
What instrument measures the force of an earthquake?
A seismograph
