the car with the greatest speed

1 answer

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