    Answer: 3.75 joules

    Explanation:

    Given that:

    Mass of acorn = 0.300 kilograms

    velocity = 5. oo m/s

    Kinetic energy = ?

    Since, kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, its value depends on the mass M and velocity V of the acorn.

    Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

    = 1/2 x 0.300kg x (5.00m/s) ^2

    = 0.5 x 0.3kg x (5.00m/s) ^2

    = 0.15 x (5.00m/s) ^2

    = 3.75 joules

    Thus, the kinetic energy of the falling acorn is 3.75 joules
