Answer:
The correct answer is a) The kinetic energy of the ice increases by equal amounts for equal distances.
Explanation:
The law of conservation states that the energy cannot be created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.Before the ice even starts falling we already know that it possesses energy in the form of potential energy given by P=mgh where m is the mass of the ice , g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the ice above the ground whatever that may be, since a number is not given here.As the ice falls the energy is converted from potential energy to kinetic energy. We notice one thing about the equation for the potential energy P , which is that it is not only directly proportional to h but also is linear in h as well(which is the main reason why a) is correct) which means that if the ice drops by 1 meter the potential energy it will have lost would be ΔPE=mgΔh=-mg, where Δh is the change in its height which is 1 meter here.And according to the principle of conservation of energy this energy must be converted to kinetic energy so the ΔKE=-ΔPE=mg, and this process repeats and for each meter it falls, it picks up the same amount of kinetic energy equaling mg(which is the same as the loss in PE per each meter of fall). So a 2 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 2mg, a 3 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 3mg. gain in kinetic energy only depends on the drop in height, which is true irrespective of where the ice might happen to be in its journey close to the top or the bottom. So the drop in height of lets say x at any point in the journey will result in the same increase in KE = ΔKE = mgx. Which proves part a) to be correct.
Meters it the SI unit for measuring length.

Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.
The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.
Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.
To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.
W = m*g
W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]
W = 12.75 [N]
Answer: The spinning of Earth's outer core causes the lithosphere to break into individual plates and collide with each other.
