Use the table of information to answer the question. Fruit Mass (kg) Speed (m/s) Watermelon A 4 2 Watermelon B 4 4Two 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) Responses The watermelon A has more kinetic energy. The watermelon A has more kinetic energy. The watermelon B has more kinetic energy. The watermelon B has more kinetic energy. Both fruits have only potential energy and no kinetic energy. Both fruits have only potential energy and no kinetic energy. Both fruits have the same kinetic and potential energy.
Based on the given information, the kinetic energy of an object is calculated using the formula k.e = 0.5 * mass * speed^2.
Comparing the two watermelons:
- Watermelon A has a mass of 4 kg and a speed of 2 m/s. Therefore, its kinetic energy is k.e = 0.5 * 4 * 2^2 = 8 Joules.
- Watermelon B has a mass of 4 kg and a speed of 4 m/s. Therefore, its kinetic energy is k.e = 0.5 * 4 * 4^2 = 32 Joules.
Since the kinetic energy of Watermelon B (32 Joules) is greater than the kinetic energy of Watermelon A (8 Joules), the correct answer is: The watermelon B has more kinetic energy.
