The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The time taken for the acorn to hit the ground is 0.8 s. As it is a free fall, the acorn will be completely under the influence of gravity. So the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity.
Then using the second law of equation,

Since the initial velocity and time is zero, then the time taken to reach the ground is stated as 0.8 s, so

So the distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.
Answer:
25 m/s
Explanation:
Given that:
Initial speed, u = 4 m/s
Final velocity, V = 11 m/s
Time, t = 8 seconds
t2, = 16 seconds
Acceleration, a= (change in velocity) / time interval
a = (11 - 4) / 8
a = 7 / 8 = 0.875m/s²
Final velocity, v2 ;
Acceleration * t2
0.875 * 16 = 14
V2 = 14 m/s
Final speed : v + v2 = (11 + 14)m/s = 25m/s
Answer:
Emissions from power plants that burn fossil fuels increase atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is absorbed by the ocean.
Explanation:
Fossil fuels are burnt in power plants in order to produce energy. These fossil fuels contain carbon. Combustion of these fossil fuels emits oxides of carbon into the atmosphere. The oxides of carbon are carbon II oxide and carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide can be absorbed by the ocean to form carbonic acid according to the reaction equation;
CO2(aq) + H2O(l) ------> H2CO3(aq)
This is an anthropogenic activity which increases ocean acidification.
KE = 1/2mv^2
KE = 1/2 (5kg)(3m/s)
KE = 22.5 J
