Answer:

An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. ... When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel. In California there are two plates - the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate

In physics, circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path. It can be uniform, with constant angular rate of rotation and constant speed, or non-uniform with a changing rate of rotation. Since the object's velocity vector is constantly changing direction, the moving object is undergoing acceleration by a centripetal force in the direction of the center of rotation. Without this acceleration, the object would move in a straight line.

In this sense, the acceleration is always changing due to centripetal acceleration.

Answer:

A. Acceleration

Rocks A and B are located at the same height on top of a hill. The mass of rock A is twice the mass of rock B. How does the pote
Ronch [10]

Potential energy is defined by formula

U = mgh

here

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Now here two different stones are located at same height

while mass of stone A is twice that of stone B

so here we can say potential energy of A is

U_a = (2m)gh

Similarly potential energy of B is

U_b = mgh

now if we take the ratio of two energy

\frac{U_a}{U_b} = 2

so we can say potential energy of stone A is two times the potential energy of B
