How many times greater is the maximum ground motion of a magnitude 5 earthquake compared with that of a magnitude 3 earthquake?
The ground motion of a magnitude 5 earthquake is 100 times greater than that of a magnitude 3 earthquake. This is because each whole number increase in magnitude represents an increase in amplitude by a factor of 10.
A magnitude 6 earthquake is how many times greater than a magnitude 5 earthquake?
1000 times as much
How many times stronger is a magnitude 9 earthquake than a magnitude 7?
A magnitude 9 earthquake is 1,000 times stronger than a magnitude 7 earthquake. The Richter scale is logarithmic, so each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude and 31.6 times more energy released.
How much larger is the wave amplitude of an 8.0 earthquake than a 6.0 earthquake?
The wave amplitude of an 8.0 earthquake is 100 times larger than that of a 6.0 earthquake. This is because earthquake magnitude scales logarithmically, where each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude.
The seismic waves in a 6.1 magnitude earthquake are what times larger than those of a 3.1 magnitude earthquake?

Star A is a first magnitude star. Star B is a sixth magnitude star. Which star is brighter and by how much?
A magnitude 1 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.A magnitude 1 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.A magnitude 1 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.A magnitude 1 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.
Order of magnitude 100 000 000?
The order of magnitude of 100 000 000 is considered to be 8.
What is the magnitude weakest possible earthquake recorded?
it might be 1 magnitude.
How many times larger is a 5.5 magnitude earthquake than a 3.5 magnitude earthquake?
100 times larger
What magnitude is not possible when a vector of a magnitude of 3 is added to a vector of a magnitude of 4?
It is not possible to obtain a vector with a magnitude of 7 when adding vectors of magnitude 3 and 4. The resultant magnitude will be between 1 and 7, as the triangle inequality states that the magnitude of the sum of two vectors is less than or equal to the sum of their magnitudes.
What is the magnitude of the least possible current that could exits?
The magnitude of the least possible current that could exist is zero, in the absence of any flow of charge.
Compared to a magnitude 1 star a star with a magnitude of 2 is?
A magnitude 1 star is about 2.512 times brighter than a magnitude 2 star. The exact factor is the fifth root of 100 - this means that a difference of 5 magnitudes is equivalent to a brightness factor of 100.
What magnitude is not possible when a vector of magnitude 3 is added to a vector of magnitude 4?

Can a vector have a component greater than the vector's magnitude?
No, a vector's component cannot be greater than the vector's magnitude. The magnitude represents the maximum possible magnitude of a component in any direction.
What is the difference between first magnitude and 29th magnitude?
Brightness. A 1st magnitude star is one of the brightest stars in the sky. Things at 7th magnitude are just barely visible to the naked eye, and objects at 29th magnitude are barely detectable even with the largest telescopes. Mathematically, as you move up a magnitude the next star is about 2.512 times brighter. So you need to keep multiplying until you've gone from magnitude 29 right up to 1st magnitude. In fact an increase in brightness of five magnitudes is an increase of exactly 100 times. So, in this case the answer is : 100 x 100 x 100 x 100 x 100 x about 15.85 That's about: 158,500,000,000 times brighter.
Is a third-magnitude star ten times as bright as a fourth-magnitude star?
No. The difference in 1 magnitude is the 5th root of 100 which is about 2.512. So a 3rd magnitude star is 2.512 times as bright as a 4th magnitude star.
How many times greater is the amplitude of an earthquake with a magnitude of 6 versus an earthquake with a magnitude of 4?
100 times
