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.

statement #3 on andre"s list is false.
