A ball falling through the air has a mass, a density, a volume...it is facing air resistance and is being acted on by gravity...it is accelerating and gaining velocity...and it is increasing in kinetic energy.
I suppose out of all those the biggest thing the ball has in this case is ENERGY. There are two main types to focus on...
Kinetic Energy - The further the ball fall the more KE it has...until terminal velocity is reach, then KE would become constant.
Potential Energy - Conversely to that of KE, the further the ball falls the less PE it will have.
<em>Heat/Thermal Energy is technically also present due to the friction from the air resistance, but the transfer of energy between the air and ball is quite complex and not necessary important for basic physics.

The question itself seem kind of vague and open ended, but I could just be viewing it the wrong way.

Answer:
The net force on the box is 2 N to the left.
The box will move to the left.
The acceleration on the box is 0.5 m/s^2 to the left.
Explanation:
Let's say movement to the right is positive and left is negative.
Bob: +10 N
John: -12 N
Add those together and you get a net force of -2 N, and the negative sign means that the box is moving to the left.
For the acceleration:
Fnet = ma
-2 = (4 kg)a
a = -0.5 m/s^2
Again, the negative sign in this answer means the box is being accelerated to the left.
Answer:
yes
Explanation:
I would say yes because it's exerting some type of force as it reacts to the stick to make it jump straight in an upwards direction
Your answer is A, Ocean Waves- because A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. Ocean waves do just that :)
Hope this helps!!
The net force on the acorn is less than the force of gravity.
