Two watermelons fall off a kitchen counter. The masses and speeds of the fruits are in the table. How do the kinetic and/or the potential energies of the fruits compare? (1 point)

1 answer

Since we are given the masses and speeds of the watermelons, we can compare their kinetic energies.

The kinetic energy of an object is given by the equation:

KE = 0.5 * m * v^2

where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the mass of the object, and v is the speed of the object.

Given that the masses and speeds of the two watermelons are equal, the kinetic energies of the two watermelons will also be equal.
