Answer: 3.75 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of acorn = 0.300 kilograms

velocity = 5.oo m/s

Kinetic energy = ?

Since, kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, its value depends on the mass M and velocity V of the acorn.

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 0.300kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.5 x 0.3kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.15 x (5.00m/s)^2

= 3.75 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the falling acorn is 3.75 joules

Answer: <u>In a divergent plate boundary</u>, seafloor spreading taking place. It leads to the formation of oceans as new materials are added here along the mid-oceanic ridge. There occur volcanism and shallow-focus earthquakes.

<u>In a convergent plate boundary</u>, two plates collide to form high mountain belts and also volcanic eruptions take place. There occur long chains of volcanic as well as island arcs, in association with deep-focus earthquakes.

<u>In a transform plate boundary</u>, two plates slide past each other, conserving the plates. Shallow-focus earthquakes are generated here.

The earth has experienced various geological processes, such as weathering and erosion of rocks, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mass extinction events, plate tectonic movements and many more. These continuous processes have configured the present shape of the earth's surface.

For example, the breaking up of the supercontinent Pangea divided into Laurasia and Gondwanaland and subsequently formed the present scenario. This separation of continents has taken place due to the convection current that generates in the mantle.

Sveta_85 [38]
A :-) F = ma
Given - m = 95 kg
a = 2.2 m/s^2
Solution -
F = ma
F = 95 x 2.2
F = 209

.:. The force is 209 N
