You are told 3 things...1. That there are two objects with equal masses. 2. Both objects are in motion. 3. One object has a greater kinetic energy than the other. How is this possible? (1 point)
• One object has a greater speed than the other object.
• One object is blue and one object is red.
• One object has a greater density then the other object.
•One object has a greater volume than the other object.
1. One object has greater speed than the other object.
2. The truck has more kinetic energy because it has a greater mass.
3. a blue car with a mass of 500 kg moving at 30 m/s
4. The wildlife keeper because they have a greater mass.
5. His kinetic energy increased wile his speed increases, then it became constant.
One object has a greater speed than the other object.
The correct answer is: One object has a greater speed than the other object.
Kinetic energy is calculated using the equation KE = (1/2) mv^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity or speed. Since both objects have equal masses, the only way for one object to have greater kinetic energy than the other is if it has a greater speed. Therefore, the first statement is the correct explanation for how this is possible.
The correct answer is: One object has a greater speed than the other object.
To understand why this is possible, we need to recall the formula for kinetic energy: KE = 0.5 * m * v^2, where KE represents kinetic energy, m represents mass, and v represents velocity (or speed).
In this scenario, we are told that two objects have equal masses but different kinetic energies. Since the mass is the same, the only way for one object to have a greater kinetic energy than the other is if its speed (velocity) is greater.
To confirm this, you can calculate the kinetic energy for both objects using the given mass value. Measure the speed of each object and substitute the values into the kinetic energy formula. You will find that the object with the greater speed will have a higher kinetic energy.
