- Find the intensities of earthquakes whose magnitudes are (a) R=6.0 and (b) R=7.9.arrow_forwardA driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardUse the total differential to approximate each quantity. Then use a calculator to approximate the quantity, and give the absolute value of the differences in the two results to 4decimal places. (1.922+2.12)13arrow_forward
