An acorn falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.8 s. how far did the acorn fall . use g = 9.8 m/s^2. round your final result to the nearest tenth.

The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

Explanation:

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

procedural programming, object-oriented programming

explanation

procedural programming is a type of computer programming language that specifies a series of well structured steps and procedures   within its development period of time. it contains a systematic order of statements, functions and commands to complete a computational task or program. it is centered on creating procedures. while object oriented programming is a programming language that is centered on creating objects rather that actions and data rather than logic.. it has four principles which are inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction and encapsulation
