The leaf fell at the crooked path instead of straight down because air currents and gravity applied changing and unbalanced forces to the leaf.

<h3>What is an air current?</h3>

An air current is defined as the changes in atmospheric pressure that causes the movement of air from one area to another.

When a leaf is detached naturally from the tree, it won't fall straight down to the floor but will fall a distance away from the tree due to the action of air current and some unbalanced forces.

Describe in terms of kinetic and potential energy what happens if an apple falls from a tree and comes to rest on the ground( wr
Lunna [17]

Answer:

An apple hanging at a branch has potential energy due its position. It can be written as PE= mgh where m is the mass of the apple h is the distance between the apple and the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

as the apple falls from the tree it loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy due to the movement of the apple. Its kinetic energy will be given by KE= 1/2mv²  where m is the mass of the apple and v is the speed with which the apple falls.

As the apple falls the height or the distance reduces and PE becomes reduces. But it gains Kinetic energy due to its speed.

But when the apple falls to the ground and comes to rest its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

thus the total energy remains the same. it changes from one form to the other but remains unaltered.

In 5 meters, a person running at 0.8 m/s accelerates at 1.6 m/s2. How fast 16 points
frutty [35]

They were going at a velocity 4.07m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Distance s =5 m

initial velocity u= 0.8 m/s

Acceleration a =1.6m/s2

We have to calculate the velocity with which they were going afterwards i.e final velocity.

Use the equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as\\=0.8^2+2\times 1.6\times 5\\=16.64\\v=4.07 m/s

They were going with a velocity 4.07 m/s afterwards.
