<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Plate tectonics theory

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • According to the plate tectonics theory, the plates making the earth float on the partially molten mantle, moving away from the mid ocean ridges at varying speeds. <em><u>At a point where the plates pull apart, slide or collide, a tectonic activity will be manifested as earthquakes. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Earthquakes </u></em><em><u>take place when the plate boundaries get stuck together while the plates keep moving. </u></em><em><u>Volcanoes </u></em><em><u>on the other hand take place when plates crash into or pull away from each other and hot magma from below rises up to the surface in an eruption.</u></em>

I think the answer is plate tectonics theory because when the are moving, they sometimes hit each other and it makes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

Answer:

The acceleration at lowest point is 19.62 m/s^2

Explanation:

Conservation of energy is an concept in which it is stated that the energy of an isolated object remains the same. Energy changes from one form to another.

Lets Assume

Constant of string is K

By using the conservation of energy we will have the following equation

1/2 x 80^2 x K = m x 9.81 x 120

3200 K =  1177.2 m

K = 1177.2 m / 3200

K = 0.368 m

At the lowest point we will have

a = ( K x X - m x g ) / m

a = ( 0.368 m x 80 - m x 9.81 ) / m

a = 19.62 m / s^2

So, the acceleration at lowest point is 19.62 m/s^2

Take for example driving by with a cake in your hand, then dropping it while going 30 mph. It will not drop directly down, it will gradually go in the direction you were driving while falling.
This is true I believe, if I'm interpreting correctly.
