ow does increasing the mass of an object affect its kinetic energy?

Question

*
1 point
It decreases the kinetic energy
It increases the kinetic energy
It has no effect on the kinetic energy
It depends on the speed of the object
please

Answer 1

The correct statement is: It increases the kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy (KE) is given by the formula:

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

where \(m\) is the mass of the object and \(v\) is its velocity. From this formula, you can see that if the mass \(m\) of the object increases and the velocity \(v\) remains constant, the kinetic energy will also increase.
