Because earths gravitational force is greater than that of the moon.

Answer:

Gravitational force exists between any two bodies having mass. It is proportional to the mass of two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

F=G\frac{Mm}{d^2}

Thus, with increase in distance, the gravitational force decreases.

Acorn falls to Earth because of the following two reasons:

1. Mass of Earth > Mass of Moon

2. Acorn is closer to the Earth

Thus, the gravitation force of attraction is greater towards the Earth.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a) There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.

b) \texttt{A cm is equal to }\frac{1}{2.54}\texttt{ inch}

Explanation:

a) We have the conversion

         1 m = 100 cm

   So there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.

b) 1 inch = 2.54 cm

    1cm=\frac{1}{2.54}inch

   \texttt{A cm is equal to }\frac{1}{2.54}\texttt{ inch}

Answer:

Both AC and DC describe types of current flow in a circuit. In direct current (DC), the electric charge (current) only flows in one direction. Electric charge in alternating current (AC), on the other hand, changes direction periodically.

What is the kinetic energy of a 0.25kg ball rolling at a speed of 2.5m/s
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy formula:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv²

m=mass

v=speed

Given:

m=0.25kg

v=2.5m/s

Plug the values in:

KE = 1/2(0.25kg)(2.5m/s)²

KE = 0.78125 J (Joules)
