Answer:
C) rift valley
Explanation:
A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the interaction of Earth's tectonic plates. This small rift valley has a typical formation—long, narrow, and deep. It was formed by the Thingvellir rift, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are tearing, or rifting, apart over a hotspot on the island of Iceland.

Explanation:
The Nucleus: The Center of an Atom. The nucleus, that dense central core of the atom, contains both protons and neutrons. Electrons are outside the nucleus in energy levels.
Answer:
The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.
For the second part,
the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:
- weight in the downwards direction
- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction
The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.
where 
because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.
Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.
Explanation:
The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.
We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.
Answer:
v = 2.94 m/s
Explanation:
When the spring is compressed, its potential energy is equal to (1/2)kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the distance compressed. At this point there is no kinetic energy due to there being no movement, meaning the net energy in the system is (1/2)kx^2.
Once the spring leaves the system, it will be moving at a constant velocity v, if friction is ignored. At this time, its kinetic energy will be (1/2)mv^2. It won't have any spring potential energy, making the net energy (1/2)mv^2.
Because of the conservation of energy, these two values can be set equal to each other, since energy will not be gained or lost while the spring is decompressing. That means
(1/2)kx^2 = (1/2)mv^2
kx^2 = mv^2
v^2 = (kx^2)/m
v = sqrt((kx^2)/m)
v = x * sqrt(k/m)
v = 0.122 * sqrt(125/0.215) <--- units converted to m and kg
v = 2.94 m/s
