After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes

What is the acceleration of a 349 kg object that moved with a force of 750 N?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.15 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

where

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{750}{349}  \\  = 2.14899713...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.15 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
