The weight of a Nickel is 5 grams or 0.005 KG

For example

If a Nickel is dropped from a height of 1 metre (NEAR EARTH SURFACE GRAVITY)

the velocity just before impact is 4.427188724235731 metres per second

if the mass of the object is 0.005 Kg

then the kinetic energy of the object just before impact is 0.049 J

This is obviously directly proportional to the air flow and this example assumes that air friction is negligible.

Jb..

while we are here lets calculate the impact force of the falling object..

now where's my beer.

the change in kinetic energy of the nickel is equal to the net work chivied on the object

therefore

the average impact force X distance traveled equals the change in kinetic energy

therefore the distance traveled is 0.02 metres

but this is obviously directly proportional to the density of the surface that it falls into, for this example i have used sand.

How do you find the kinetic energy of a falling nickel?

The kinetic energy of a falling nickel can be calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m represents the mass of the nickel and v is its velocity. By knowing these values, you can plug them into the equation to determine the kinetic energy.


What accounts for the aircraft carrier having a greater kinetic energy than the falling nickel?

The aircraft carrier is much heavier than the falling nickel, which means it has more mass. Since kinetic energy is directly proportional to an object's mass, the aircraft carrier will have a greater kinetic energy compared to the nickel despite both having the same velocity just before impact.


What kind of energy possessed water falling from a dam?

Kinetic energy


A boulder falling through the air has what type of energy?

The boulder falling through the air has kinetic energy. This is the energy possessed by an object in motion.


What happens the the kinetic energy of a falling object?

As a falling object descends, its potential energy (due to its position above the ground) is converted into kinetic energy (energy of motion). This kinetic energy increases as the object accelerates towards the ground. When the object reaches the ground, all of its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.


What kind of energy do falling boulders have?

Kinetic energy.


Is a falling ball potential or kinetic energy?

it is kinetic because it involves releasing the energy.


What form of energy is a falling rock?

That is a trick question, but I believe it is kinetic energy.


A falling rock has kinetic energy?

Yes, a falling rock has kinetic energy because it is in motion. As the rock falls, its gravitational potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy due to its movement and speed.


Does a strawberry have kinetic energy?

If the strawberry is moving, it has kinetic energy. Anything with a mass and velocity has kinetic energy.
