Which characteristic will be affected by increasing the speed of an object from 30 meters per second ( ms ) to 40 meters per second( ms )?(1 point) Responses weight weight mass mass kinetic energy kinetic energy gravitational attraction

Answer 1

The characteristic that will be affected by increasing the speed of an object from 30 meters per second (m/s) to 40 meters per second (m/s) is kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is given by the formula:

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

where \( m \) is the mass of the object and \( v \) is its velocity. Since the speed (velocity) is increasing, the kinetic energy will increase as well. The weight and mass of the object, as well as gravitational attraction, will not be affected by a change in speed.
