Answer:
Oxygen or more precisely, the O-15 isotope.
Figure A shows cross section of a land form or rock. In Figure B, compression stress is applied on it. When compression stresses are applied on a rock, it squeezes the rock cause fold or fracture. The fault formed by compression stress is called thrust fault. If the compression stresses/ force continue to act on a rock it will converge and form thrust fault. In Figure C, tension stresses is applied on the rock. When a tension stress applied on a rock it deforms/ lengthen. There are three type of deformations occur due to tension stresses. One is elastic deformation, in which, rock retains it original shape when force/stresses are removed. Second is plastic deformation, in which rock lengthen and change occur permanently. Third type of deformation is result into fracture or breaking of rock. In Figure C, shear stresses are applied on rock. Shear stresses are applied with equal magnitude but in opposite direction. It cause breaking of rock.
Compute first for the vertical motion, the formula is:
y = gt²/2
0.810 m = (9.81 m/s²)(t)²/2
t = 0.4064 s
whereas the horizontal motion is computed by:
x = (vx)t
4.65 m = (vx)(0.4064 s)
4.65 m/ 0.4064s = (vx)
(vx) = 11.44 m / s
So look for the final vertical speed.
(vy) = gt
(vy) = (9.81 m/s²)(0.4064 s)
(vy) = 3.99 m/s
speed with which it hit the ground:
v = sqrt[(vx)² + (vy)²]
v = sqrt[(11.44 m/s)² + (3.99 m/s)²]
v = 12.12 m / s
