Suppose an acorn with a mass of 3.17 g falls off a tree. At a particular moment during the fall, the acorn has a kinetic energy

of 0.119 J and a potential energy of 0.347 J with respect to the ground. How does the acorn's potential and kinetic energy change as it falls

Potential and kinetic energy both decrease with the acorn's falling potential and kinetic energy.

The acorn's potential energy is at its peak when it reaches the top of the tree, yet its kinetic energy is zero (i.e., it is not accelerating).

The height of the ball reduces along with the potential energy as the acorn tumbles down the tree, but the kinetic energy rises (energy due to motion)

The height will be 0 and the kinetic and potential energy will be zero at the ground. This demonstrates that as an item falls, both potential and kinetic energy are lost.

Estimate the magnitude of the electric field due to the proton in a hydrogen atom at a distance of
Lana71 [14]

Electric field due to a point charge is given as

E = \frac{kq}{r^2}

here we know that

q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

also the distance is given as

r = 5.29 \times 10^{-11} m

now we will have

E = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{(5.29 \times 10^{-11})^2}

so we will have

E = 5.14 \times 10^{11} N/C

so above is the electric field due to proton

Ball A Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 50 m/s Ball B Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 80 m/s Ball C Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 25 m/s Which ball has
charle [14.2K]
Definition formula for momentum: P = mv

So P(A) = 0.45 * 50 = 22.5 kgm/s

P(B) = 0.45 * 80 = 36 kgm/s

P(C) = 0.45 * 25 = 11.25 kgm/s

B has the greatest momentum

If a block of wood dropped from a tall building has attained a velocity of 78.4 m/s how long has it been falling
ryzh [129]

Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after  falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .

<u>Note:</u>

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter.  After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.

Whats the speed of darkness?
lianna [129]
The same speed of light, the fastest possible

darkness is just the absence of light therefore once light leaves darkness returns. making darkness have the same speed of light
