What technique can help you determine the power of 10 cloaest to the actual numerical value of a quantity?
Order of magnitude
What does it mean that one earthquake is a 6 and another is a 7?
Those numbers are orders of magnitude on the Richter scale. The Richter magnitude scale was developed in 1935 by Charles F. Richter of the California Institute of Technology as a mathematical device to compare the size of earthquakes.
Does the Erdos Number follow the Benford Law?
No, it does not. The Benford Law requires the numbers to span several orders of magnitude, Erdos numbers have a very small range.
Find the difference between place values of the two 9s in 79520986?
The first 9 is in the Millions place, the second is in the Hundreds. The difference is 4 orders of magnitude.
How can you use estimation to determine whether you have placed the decimal point correctly in the product?
A reasonable estimate will give an indication of the order of magnitude of the number. The order of magnitude is determined by the decimal point and so knowing the order can help in placing it.
What is order if magnitude?
A magnitude is factor of 10 An order of magnitude is a factor of "about 10". Two orders of magnitude is about 100. For example, if something is two orders of magnitude higher than 3, it would be about 300. Order in this case means about, or approximate. To the nearest order of magnitude , 3200 is 3000
What two things are needed to determine the Ritcher Magnitude?
magnitude and richter
Is the sun larger than the Milky Way?
No - many orders of magnitude SMALLER
Are there more than one thousand turtles?
Yes, by several orders of magnitude.
What is demarcate?
determine and set official orders
What scale is used to determine the magnitude of a an erthquake?
Richter
How do you determine the magnitude of two equal forces?
To determine the magnitude of two equal forces, you can simply multiply the magnitude of one force by 2, as they are equal. This is because the total force is the sum of the individual forces acting in the same direction.
Is 101 greater or less than 1.01?
101 is greater by two orders of magnitude.
What scale do you use to determine in the magnitude of an earthquake?
Ritcher Scale
What is the difference between polar plot and nyquist plot?
it is a path in which magnitude and phase can be determine . it is used to determine the
Determine the magnitude and direction of F so that the particle is in equilibrium?
To have equilibrium, the net force acting on the particle must be zero. The magnitude of force F must be equal in magnitude (but opposite in direction) to the resultant of all other forces acting on the particle. Therefore, to determine F, you need to calculate the vector sum of all other forces acting on the particle and then determine the magnitude and direction for F.
What is the name of the scale that is used to determine the magnitude of an earthquake?
Richter or Mercailles.
