If a book falls to the ground, it could potentially get damaged depending on the height it falls from and the surface it lands on. It's best to handle books carefully to avoid any unnecessary wear and tear.
false
When a book falls off a shelf and hits the ground, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it falls. When it hits the ground, some of the kinetic energy is converted into sound and heat energy due to the impact.
It releases the same amount of energy that it absorbed when it was excited to a higher energy state.
True. Work is defined as the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force. Since there is no force acting on the book as it falls, no work is done on the book.
false
The book on the edge of the desk has potential energy due to its position relative to the ground. If the book falls, this potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy as it moves towards the ground.
when water falls on a cemented ground the cemented ground can't absorve water much and the water flows away.
Rain releases energy through the process of condensation when water vapor in the atmosphere cools and forms into droplets, releasing latent heat. This energy is then released as the rain falls to the ground.
It falls, accelerating constantly until it hits the ground.
The two forces that act on a dropped book as it falls to the floor are gravity, which pulls the book downward, and air resistance, which pushes against the book as it falls.
Work is being done by the force of gravity. When the book falls to the floor, there's a force on it, and the force keeps acting on it as it covers the distance. A force acting through a distance is the definition of work. Maybe there's nobody pushing the book, but the force of gravity is pulling it down, and it's the force of gravity that does the work on the book.
When water falls to the ground, it is called precipitation, which can take the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
