... The earth is not a static planet; the large slabs of the earth’s crust (tectonic plates) are in continual slow motion. An earthquake occurs when these plates move. The movement causes rock to be squeezed, bent and stretched. This tremendous pressure eventually forces the rock to break and the plates ...

... 2. At high speeds, the air resistance experienced by an object is proportional to velocity squared (if an object goes twice as fast, it experiences four times as much resistance). Now think about a rocket, whose mass decreases as it burns through its fuel. At time = 0s, the rocket has mass m and a v ...
