<span>Amethyst is a crystalline quartz, its colours range from light to dark purple. The purplish colour of amethyst is due to high energy radiations, such as gamma rays, from radioactive sources, the presence of trace elements and the presence of iron found in its crystal lattice. The colour cetre created by Fe4+ is a principal contributor to the colouring of amethyst.</span>

Why do faults often occur along plate boundaries?
Slav-nsk [51]
Earthquakes can also occur far from the edges of plates, along faults. Faults<span> are cracks in the earth where sections of a plate (or two plates) are moving in different directions. Faults are caused by all that bumping and sliding the plates do. They are more common near the edges of the plates.</span>

The tomato is dropped. What is the velocity, v, of the tomato when it hits the ground? Assume 85.6 % of the work done in Part A
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

v = 4.1 \sqrt{h}

Explanation:

Let the mass of tomato is m and the height from which it falls is h.

Let the tomato its the ground with velocity v.

The potential energy of the tomato at height h

U = m x g x h

The kinetic energy of tomato as it hits the ground

K = 1/2 mv^2

According to the question,

85.6 % of Potential energy = Kinetic energy

\frac{85.6}{100}\times m\times g\times h = \frac{1}{2}\times m\times v^{2}

v = 4.1 \sqrt{h}
