Two objects are moving at the same speed. Which one has more kinetic energy?(1 point)

Question

Responses

the object with the greater volume
the object with the greater volume

the object that is made of more dense material
the object that is made of more dense material

the object with the greater mass
the object with the greater mass

the object that is higher above ground level

Answer 1

The object with the greater mass would have more kinetic energy if both objects are moving at the same speed. Kinetic energy is calculated using the formula:

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

where \( KE \) is kinetic energy, \( m \) is mass, and \( v \) is velocity. Since the velocity is the same for both objects, the one with the greater mass will have greater kinetic energy.
