i have two kinetic energies and my homework asks for the ratio, K2/K1

Do i just divide them?

Yes.

THANK YOU AGAIN BOBPURSLEY LOL

Yes, to find the ratio of two kinetic energies, you simply divide the second kinetic energy (K2) by the first kinetic energy (K1). Formally, it would be expressed as K2/K1.

Here's an example step-by-step process to calculate the ratio of two kinetic energies:

1. Identify the values of K2 and K1 given in your problem or question.
2. Divide the value of K2 by the value of K1.
-> K2/K1 = K2 ÷ K1

For instance, if K1 is 30 Joules and K2 is 45 Joules, the ratio K2/K1 would be:

K2/K1 = 45 Joules ÷ 30 Joules = 1.5

So, in this case, the ratio of K2 to K1 is 1.5, meaning the second kinetic energy (K2) is one and a half times larger than the first kinetic energy (K1).
