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.

The figure (Figure 1) shows the velocity of a solar-powered motorhome (RV) as a function of time. The driver accelerates from a
SpyIntel [72]

Explanation :

It is given that, the driver accelerates from a stop sign, cruises for 20 s at a constant speed of 60 km/h, and then brakes to come to a stop 40 s after leaving the stop sign.

We know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

Where

dv is the change in velocity, dv = 0 - 60 m/s = -60 m/s

dt is the change in time, dt = 40 s - 30 s = 10 s

So, a=\dfrac{-60\ m/s}{10\ s}

a = -6\ m/s^2

From the graph it is clear that, from 30 s to 40 s the car is decelerating. So, at every second within this time the value of acceleration will be same i.e. -6\ m/s^2.
