Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. Surface waves travel across the surface. Surface waves decay more slowly with distance than body waves which travel in three dimensions. Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves, so surface waves tend to cause more damage.

Answer:
A bowling ball stored on a high shelf has more potential energy
A base ball on the same shelf should rather fall on my head
Explanation:
Potential energy =mgh where m= mass, g= gravitational force and h is height
The bowling ball is bigger and heavier than the base ball
which means more mass . The remaining parameters are constant.
This means the bowling ball has more potential energy.
Since the base ball is lighter then it’s preferable to land on someone’s head due to the lesser force it will expert and lesser pain too.
The centripetal acceleration of the car is 48,800 mi/h2
