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

Responses

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

the object that is higher above ground level
the object that is higher above ground level

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

the object that is made of more dense material

1 answer

The correct response is:

the object with the greater mass

Kinetic energy (KE) is calculated using the formula:

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

where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the speed of the object. Since both objects are moving at the same speed, the one with the greater mass will have more kinetic energy.
