Question

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 volume than the other object.
One object is blue and one object
•is red.
• One object has a greater speed
than the other object.
• One object has a greater density
then the other object.

Answer 1

Answer

Answer 2

The statement "One object has a greater speed than the other object" explains how one object can have greater kinetic energy than the other despite both having equal masses.

Kinetic energy (\( KE \)) is given by the equation:

\[
KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2
\]

where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the speed of the object. Since both objects have equal mass, the object with the greater speed will have a higher kinetic energy due to the square of the speed in the formula.

Answer 3

One object has a greater speed than the other object.
