This question may require more information to provide a more accurate answer.

A fault block mountain range is formed by tension as rocks are pulled away from each other. A fault block is a section of rock bounded on at least two sides by faults.
Faults commonly break the crust into large, fault bounded blocks. If normal faults down drop one fault block relative to other blocks on either side, the resulting feature is called a Graben.
A block that is uplifted relative to blocks in either side is called a horst.

What do electrons in the same shell have in common? AThey have the same amount of energy incorrect answer BThey are all positive
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

They have the same amount of energy

Explanation:

Electrons are said to be the subatomic particles that move around the nucleus of an atom. These electrons are negatively charged particles that are seen to be quite smaller than the nucleus of an atom.  

The electron shells of these atoms are usually being filled from the inside out with the low-energy shells closer to the nucleus being filled before they can go into the much higher-energy shells that are a bit out

A racecar driver steps on the gas, and his racecar travels 20 meters in 2 seconds starting from rest. The acceleration of the ra
givi [52]

Answer:

2.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given

distance = 20meters

time = 2 seconds

initial velocity u= 0m/s

let us solve for the final velocity

velocity = distance/time

velocity= 20/2

velocity= 10m/s

v^2=u^2+2as\\\\10^2=0^2+2*a*20\\\\100=40a

divide both sides by 40

a= 100/40\\\\a=10/4\\\\a= 5/2\\\\a= 2.5m/s^2
