In a balanced system, the total energy should always stay the same. The total energy is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energies. If the potential energy increases, then the kinetic energy should decrease. This happens to keep the system under a state of balance.
The distance from the earthquake`s focus.
D. Mechanical energy remains unchanged.
Mechanical energy = Potential energy + Kinetic energy
So if potential energy decreases, then kinetic energy must increase so that the system is balanced.

Answer:</h3>
46.67 m/s²
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Mass of a rocket = 3 kg
- Force applied = 140 N
we are supposed to calculate the acceleration of the rocket;
- We are going to use the second Newton's law of motion;
- According to Newton's second Law of motion force is equivalent to the product of mass and acceleration.
- This is from the fact that the resultant force and the rate of change in linear momentum are directly proportional.
Therefore;
F = Ma
In this case;
Rearranging the formula
a = F ÷ m
= 140 N ÷ 3 kg
= 46.67 m/s²
Thus, the acceleration of the rocket is 46.67 m/s²
Answer:
0.0337 J or 33.7 mJ
Explanation:
