Seismologists use a Magnitude scale (called the Richter Scale) to express the seismic energy released by each earthquake.
Other Examples of magnitude
1. In February 2010, Chile was hit with a destructive earthquake with an 8.8-magnitude (size) on the Richter Scale.

The mathematical quantities which are used to describe the motion of objects can be divided into two categories:
Vectors are quantities which are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Vectors are usually represented by arrows. 5, 6
Scalars are quantities which are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone.

Speed is a scalar quantity
Formula for calculating speed:
Speed = distance / time (s = d/t)

In physics, acceleration is not just an increase in velocity, but also a decrease in velocity.
A decrease in velocity is a negative acceleration.
This actually helps when doing calculations and also allows us to give more meaning to acceleration.

You are walking down the street when you see an enormous, 112kg barrel rolling towards you at 12 m/s.
You are, of course, surprised by a barrel of this size, let alone the fact that it is rolling down the street. You jump in front of it and begin pushing on it until you finally bring it to a stop 27.4s later.
At this point you are arrested for interfering in the “World’s Largest Barrel Rolling Championships”.
Determine the acceleration of the barrel.

In this example you have a barrel that is initially moving and ends up at rest.
a = Δv / Δt =(vf - vi) / t
= (0 - 12) / 27.4
a = -0.44 m/s2
Notice that a final velocity of zero (you stopped it), minus another number gives you a negative Δv.

A positive velocity means an object is going in the positive direction (like forwards), and a negative direction is backwards.

A negative acceleration can mean…
1. An object moving in the positive direction (positive velocity) is slowing down.
Or
2. An object moving in the negative direction (negative velocity) is speeding up.

You drop something off a cliff.As it falls, gravitycauses it to accelerate.
positive
negative
Throw a ball up in the air. As it rises, gravity causesa negative acceleration in the direction the ball wastraveling, causing the ball toslow down, stop, and begin todescend.

1 sec after moving its going 2 miles an hour. 2 sec after moving its going 4 miles an hour. 3 sec after moving its going 6 miles an hour.4 sec after moving its going 8 miles an hour.
Constant Acceleration: When an accelerating object changes its velocity by the same amount each second.

The velocity-time graph for constant acceleration is a straight line.
What would the velocity of the object be after 6 seconds?
