Juliet wants to significantly increase the amount of kinetic energy of her bowling ball in order to increase her chances of getting a strike. Which of the following would increase the ball's kinetic energy the most?
a
increasing the speed at which she throws the ball
b
decreasing the speed at which she throws the ball
c
changing to a ball with more mass
d
she cannot increase the kinetic energy
1 answer
a) Increasing the speed at which she throws the ball would increase the ball's kinetic energy the most, according to the formula for kinetic energy (KE = 1/2 mv^2), where m is mass and v is velocity.
