Question 768222: How much energy, Q, is released by an earthquake with a Richter rating, R, of 8.7? Use the function R = log[Q] - 4.4
Energy in joules (E-notation, 1 decimal before the E): Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! R = log(Q) - 4.4
R = 8.7
8.7 = log(Q) - 4.4
8.7 + 4.4 = log(Q)
13.1 = log(Q)
10^13.1 = Q
Q =1.3 X 10^13 Joules
Hope this helps.
