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
What’s the question here?
The higher the thermal energy the faster the conduction convection and radiation take place as the particles have more kinetic (movement) energy
