What type of energy does a pebble sitting on the top of a mountain have?
It has potential energy.
What is a small rock called?
The smallest type of rock is a pebble. A pebble can be made out of most rocks and is the size of a marble.
Explain why a glass pane is shattered when a flying pebble hits it?
The flying peeble imparts momentum(force * time) to the pane during collision and as glass is a amorphous solid,it donot have cleavage property and gets shattered
How do you find the density of a pebble?
Measure the mass of the pebble first (this should be easy) Then you find out the volume of the pebble by trying to measure the height, length, and width of it. Try to find a regular pebble as it will help with your result! Then you divide your mass by your volume.
What is the relationship between velocity and inertia?
Newtons First Law of Motion states that an object with a given momentum will continue to posses that same momentum until the object is acted on by a force in which case it will undergo a change in momentum. Inertia is a measure of an objects tendency to resist a change in momentum. Massive bodies have a large inertia. If a massive body is in motion its momentum is given by the product of the mass and the velocity of that body. Newtons first law says that if a force acts on this body its momentum will change. But since the body has a large inertia this change is small. For example, if a small space pebble collides with a large asteroid that has a constant velocity and thus constant momentum, the force is small relative to the inertia of the asteroid so the momentum only changes a little bit.

It has potential energy.
How can we find the volume of a small pebble with the help of measuring cylinder?
Put some liquid in the measuring cylinder - to a height that is greater than the height of the pebble. Measure the level of the liquid. Then add the pebble into the cylinder and measure the level of the liquid again. the difference between the two levels is the volume of the pebble,Put some liquid in the measuring cylinder - to a height that is greater than the height of the pebble.

What is the smallest earthquake that ever hit?
One of the smallest earthquakes resulted from a grain of sand rolling off a pebble and striking the ground.
What might happen to a pebble plant in the heat of the sun if it had a large flat surface with a thin body?
The Surface Area of the Pebble plant that is exposed to the Sun will be greater and will become too hot; hence the pebble plant will lose lots of it's water.
What might happen to pebble plant in heat of the sun if it had a large flat surface with thin body like a pancake?
The Surface Area of the Pebble plant that is exposed to the Sun will be greater and will become too hot; hence the pebble plant will lose lots of it's water.

Why do the fishes become restless when you drop a pebble into the aquarium?
The pressure waves of the pebble hitting the water and falling through it are felt by the fish through their lateral line. It's roughly analogous to sitting in your living room and momentarily feeling a sharp draft.
What is smaller a pebble or gravel?
Probably a pebble.
