Responses

the car with the greatest size
the car with the greatest size

the car with the greatest volume
the car with the greatest volume

the car with the greatest speed
the car with the greatest speed

the car with the greatest acceleration

1 answer

The correct response is: the car with the greatest speed.

Kinetic energy is given by the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \), where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the velocity (speed) of the object. Since the cars have equal mass, the car with the greater speed will have more kinetic energy.
