dents

i was looking at all of the dents on my neighbor's car when it hit me (not literally) that the cause of them had something to do with physics. There's a tree high above where he parks so the nuts fall down and leave the dents. I guess it's something similar to free fall because excluding the wind and air resistance, the nuts are being pulled down by gravity so their vertical velocity is negatively accelerating. It's the same concept as my cat falling off the lanai although I think air resistance has a bigger effect on the nuts because although they are pretty heavy, they aren't as heavy as a cat. The top of the tree is around the same height as my lanai so ignoring air resistance, the nuts probably fall at around -20.288 m/s as well (after using the kinematic equation again). Although if you do consider air resistance, they probably fall at a slower rate than that because they'd get more air resistance than my cat. There sure seems to be a lot of falling around here...
