Best Answer

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters per second2 downward.

1.6 seconds after falling from a branch near the surface of the Earth,

the apple's speed is 15.68 meters per second.

It's velocity is 15.68 meters per second downward.

The tree has to be really tall, since the apple falls 12.544 meters (about 41 feet)

in 1.6 seconds.

An apple falls out of a tree and takes 1.75 seconds to strike the ground. How high was the apple from the ground?

s = ut + ½at² s = distance = height of apple before it fell u = 0 m/s (initial speed of apple) t = 1.75 s (time of movement) a = acceleration = g (acceleration due to gravity) → s = ½g1.75² = 1.53125g m taking g as approx 9.81 m/s² s ≈ 1.53125 × 9.81 m ≈ 15 m


What does tree plus apple equals what?

Well, darling, if you add a tree and an apple together, you get a fruit tree. Technically speaking, an apple grows on a tree, so you could say it equals a delicious snack waiting to be picked. But if you're looking for a more mathematical answer, I'm afraid you're out of luck because last time I checked, trees and apples don't really add up in the traditional sense.


Why is the bottom half of an apple sweeter than the top half?

well it is scientifictly proven that the bottom half of the apple is seeter becuase when an apple hangs on a tree it is hung in a position where the juices and the sweetness move from the top to the bottom...can you guess why?!.....GRAVITY! theres your answeer


What did you do a few seconds ago?

well a few seconds ago i climbed up a tree and after that i fell off now i have abrooze on my arm!!! a few seconds ago i was on another tab that also has wikianswers on it. now i am annoyed as no one has answered my question yet.


What is at 38 degrees 57 minutes 65 seconds north by 77 degrees 8 minutes 44 seconds west?

There are only 60 seconds in a minute, therefore 38°57'65"N does not exist as a latitude on the earth. Correcting for the 65 seconds gives 38°58'5"N 77°8'44" W which looks like a tree to me.

If a apple falls from tree in 2sec on ground what is the heigh of tree?

An apple that falls from a tree and hits the ground 2 seconds later, fell from a branch 64 ft above the ground. We don't know the total height to the top of the tree, only to the place where the apple was attached.


An apple falls from a tree and reaches the ground in 4 seconds with a velocity of 40m/s. What is the acceleration?

Using the acceleration formula, final acceleration is the final velocity minus the initial velocity over elapsed time. Final velocity you gave as 40m/s, and the initial velocity was zero (the apple was stationary on the tree), so the difference is 40 m/s. Divided by the time you gave, 4 s, this will be 10 m/sĀ²

What makes an apple fall from a tree?

Gravity. It falls when it gets heavy.


When an apple falls from a tree what force pulls it down what are the balanced and unbalanced forces at work?

The force that pulls the apple down is gravity. When the apple is at rest on the tree, the forces are balanced between gravity pulling the apple down and the tree branch pushing up on the apple. Once the apple falls, gravity becomes the unbalanced force causing it to accelerate towards the ground.


When an apple falls from a tree to the ground the apples beginning kinetic energy and ending gravitational potential energy are both equal to?

zero


How does an apples energy change if it falls from a tree?

When an apple falls from a tree, its potential energy decreases as it loses height and gains kinetic energy as it starts moving. The apple's total energy remains constant as it undergoes this transformation between potential and kinetic energy.


An apple falling down from tree show which uniform or non uniform motion?

The motion of an apple falling from a tree is an example of non-uniform motion. This is because the speed of the apple changes as it falls due to the acceleration of gravity acting on it.


Why is an apple not spinning around the earth and the moon not falling from a tree?

Velocity, velocity, velocity. Both a falling apple and the orbiting Moon are being attracted by the Earth's gravity. The apple is still being attracted even when it is on the ground. The difference is that the Moon is moving laterally, that is, its motion has a tangential velocity component that carries it "past the edge of the Earth" as it falls, so that it never reaches the ground. It also has very little friction moving through space to slow it down. So gravity, in trying to pull it down, keeps it from flying off into space, but can never bring it crashing down on Isaac Newton's head. ========== Besides the tree is a wee bit small to hold the moon!
