After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes
The pet store would be the reference point because it is where he started and it will not move. Hope this helped.
Answer:
a positive test charge will move in the field
Explanation:
The direction of an electric field corresponds to the direction of motion of a positive test charge in the electric field. In fact:
- the electric field produced by a positive charge points outwards the charge --> this is because when a positive test charge is placed in this field, it will feel a repulsive force (because two positive charges repel each other), so it will move away from the positive charge that produces the field
- the electric field produced by a negative charge points towards the charge itself--> this is because when a positive test charge is placed in this field, it will feel an attractive force (because a positive and a negative charge attract each other), so it will move toward the negative charge that produces the field.
