Tow masses are moving down a slope. One mass is traveling twice as fast as the other mass. How does the kinetic energy of one mass compare to the other?
so in conclusion the answer would be the faster object has four times as much kinetic energy as the slower object. (if ur using connexus)
the faster object has the same kinetic energy as the slower object
m1
(1/2) m 1 v^2
m2
(1/2) m2 (2v^2) = (1/2) m2 v^2 * 4
if the masses were the same, then 4 times
hes right i think
oh yes.
Thank you your the best
i am using connexus or snowline
cool
and who is @Nicholas cause i read what you said about what he said and i didn't see any @Nicholas but it looks like he said something really really really BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To compare the kinetic energy of two masses, we can use the formula:
Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2
Given that one mass is traveling twice as fast as the other, we assume their velocities to be v and 2v, respectively. As the mass remains the same for both objects, we can calculate the kinetic energy for each mass separately.
For the first mass (with velocity v):
KE1 = 1/2 * mass * v^2
For the second mass (with velocity 2v):
KE2 = 1/2 * mass * (2v)^2 = 1/2 * mass * 4v^2
If we simplify the expression for KE2, we get:
KE2 = 1/2 * mass * 4v^2 = 2 * (1/2 * mass * v^2) = 2 * KE1
This means that the kinetic energy of the second mass is double that of the first mass.
