A 0.017-kg acorn falls from a position in an oak tree that is 18.5 meters above the ground. Calculate the velocity of the acorn

just before it reaches the ground (rounding your answer to the integer) and its kinetic energy when hitting the ground (rounding your answer to the nearest tenth)

Answer:

The velocity of the acorn just before it reaches the ground is 19 m/s

The kinetic energy when hitting the ground is 3.1 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the acorn, m = 0.017 kg

height of fall, h = 18.5 m

Apply the law of conservation of mechanical energy;

mgh = ¹/₂mv²

gh = ¹/₂v²

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 18.5)

v = 19 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the acorn just before it reaches the ground is 19 m/s

Now, determine the kinetic energy when hitting the ground;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂(0.017)(19)²

K.E = 3.09 J

K.E = 3.1 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy when hitting the ground is 3.1 J

How are the different firework shapes produced
AleksAgata [21]

To create the shapes, stars are arranged on a piece of cardboard in the desired configuration. If the stars are placed in a smiley face pattern on the cardboard, for example, they will explode into a smiley face in the sky. In fact, you may see several smiley faces in the sky at one time.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

sweeps out equal areas in equal times.

Explanation:

As we know that there is no torque due to Sun on the planets revolving about the sun

so we will have

\tau_{net} = 0

now we have

\frac{dL}{dt}= 0

now we also know that

Area = \frac{1}{2}r^2d\theta

so rate of change in area is given as

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^2\frac{d\theta}{dt}

so we will have

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^2\omega

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{L}{2m}

since angular momentum and mass is constant here so

all planets sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
