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.
