A. Earth crust shakes
Sudden movements in the fault line, ex: San Andreas fault line, can cause sudden earthquakes,
Answer:
20 N / 0.1 meters
Explanation:
10 centimetres is equal to 1 tenth of a meter or 0.1 meters.
Answer:
7.9 x 10^21 pound-force
Explanation:
The average distance between the Earth and sun is 150 trillion meters, or 1.5 x 10^11 meters. The mass of the sun is 1.99 x 10^30 kilograms, while the Earth weighs in at 6.0 x 10^24 kilograms. The gravitational constant is 6.67 x 10^-11 meter^3 / (kilogram - second^2). So the Earth and sun pull on each other with a force equal to 3.52 x 10^22 newtons. The newton is a unit of force equal to a kilogram-meter/second^2. One newton is equal to 0.22 of the rarely used English unit called pound-force, so 3.52 x 10^22 newtons is 7.9 x 10^21 pound-force.
Answer:
b) The star is moving away from us.
Explanation:
If an object moves toward us, the light waves it emits are compressed - the wavelength of the light will be shorter, making the light bluer. On the other hand, if an object moves away from us, the light waves are stretched, making it redder. If from laboratory measurements we know that a specific hydrogen spectral line appears at the wavelength of 121.6 nanometers (nm) and the spectrum of a particular star shows the same hydrogen line appearing at the wavelength of 121.8 nm, we can conclude that the star is moving away from npos, since the wavelength related to that star is more expanded.

The top picture should be obvious. The rope is tied at one end. The person holding it provides energy in the form of vibrations moving up and down the way the diagram is shown. The wave can also be created by the rope moving sideways.
The bottom picture is much harder. T energy is provided by the forefinger. It has to move. If you just stick your finger in the water, all that will happen is that you will move some water (very little in the scheme of things.
So the energy is provided by a moving forefinger.
