A squirrel drops an acorn onto the head of an unsuspecting dog. The acorn falls 20 m before it lands on the dog. Ignore air resistance. How many seconds did the acorn fall?

2 seconds

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying the equation of motion for a body falling under gravity

s = ut+1/2gt² Equation 1

Where, s = hieght of fall, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: s = 20 m, u = 0 m/s, t = ?, g = 10 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

10 = 0(t²)+1/2(10×t)

10 = 5t

Solve for t

5t/5 = 10/5

t = 2 seconds

scientific laws are the result of testing theories and proving them to be facts.

energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical or physical means. do not understand what you are asking but hope this
