I think the correct answer would be B. The process of elastic rebound is being shown by the student. It is a theory that is used to explain earthquakes. It focuses on how energy is being spread in times of earthquakes. As the rocks on the fault experiences shift and force, these rocks would be accumulating energy causing it to deform reaching the internal strength and eventually exceeding it. At that moment, a rapid motion would happen along the fault, which releases the energy, then the rocks would go back to its original shape or the undeformed state. This theory is the first theory that sufficiently was able to explain earthquakes.

stira [4]

Answer:

24 cm/s

Explanation:

Applying

Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²............. Equation 1

Where a = resultant, b = vertical component, c = horizontal component

From the question,

Given: a = 26 cm/s, c = 10 cm/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

26² = b²+10²

676 = b²+100

b² = 676-100

b² = 576

b = √576

b = 24 cm/s

Which type of acceleration would be best if you were merging onto the interstate?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

If merging onto an interstate, it is best to merge at the speed of the moving traffic.

Explanation:

As a driver, you cannot always count on the other drivers to see you wanting to merge onto the interstate, and even if they see you, they might not be willing to stop just so you merge, therefore it is best advised to look for a gap in the traffic and merge at the traffic speed.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

By pushing the pendulum Bob up so it moves faster

Explanation:

In pendulum physics the length of the pendulum Bob determines the speed of the clock. So since the grandfather's clock is slow it means the Bob is has moved down so to move it up you have to achieve this by adjusting the but upwards thereby making the clock move faster.

What is the resistance of a 15 ampere current with 8 volts of potential difference?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Resistance in circuit = 0.53 ohm (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Flow of current in circuit = 15 amp

Potential difference = 8 Volts

Find:

Resistance in circuit

Computation:

In an electrical system, resistance is a stopper of a material to electric current.

Resistance in circuit = Potential difference / Flow of current in circuit

Resistance in circuit = 8 / 15

Resistance in circuit = 0.53 ohm (Approx.)
