Answer: (A) a back-and-forth motion on the surface of the earth
Explanation:
Earthquake generates seismic waves which are longitudinal waves.Longitudinal waves travel parallel in the direction of transfer of energy. Meaning that they travel in back and forth motion.
Longitudinal waves consist of compressions and rarefactions. When compressions occur when particles are close together and are regions of high pressure. Whereas, rarefactions occur when particles are further apart and regions of low pressure.
Energy at top = m*g*height at top from release point
=0.16*9.81*11.6
=18.21J
At release kinetic energy= Gravtiational energy at top
1/2*0.16*v^2=18.21J
v^2=227.625
v=15.10m/s
P=M*v
1000*10= 10,000
The momentum of the car is 10,000
