An object moving in a circle wants to move in a straight line.
The motion of an object is tangent to the circle.
Tangential speed remains constant for an object with uniform circular motion.
Only the direction of the object changes, which means velocity is changing and the object is accelerating
If I'm right you use the formula E=mgh
so it would become E=8×1.6×2
Your answer is 25.6J (joules) :)
Subduction is a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another and is forced or sinks due to gravity into the mantle. Regions where this process occurs are known as subduction zones.
