Answer:
C. The amount of force applied to rock one was half the amount of force applied to rock two during the eruption.
Explanation:
A force is an agent which changes the state of an object well applied to it. Second Newton's law of motion state's that;
F = ma
where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration of the object.
In the given question,
Mass of first rock = 10 kilograms
Mass of the second rock = 20 kilograms
Acceleration of the two rocks = 600 m/
Thus,
Force on the first rock = ma
= 10 x 600
= 6000 N
Force on the second rock = 20 x 600
= 12000 N
Therefore, it can be observed that the amount of force applied to rock one was half the amount of force applied to rock two during the eruption.
