Question

4 facts on kenetic energy

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

1. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv², where m represents the mass of the object and v represents its velocity.

2. The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its mass and square of its velocity. This means that doubling the mass of an object would double its kinetic energy, while doubling the velocity would quadruple the kinetic energy.

3. The kinetic energy of an object is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude and no direction. It is always a positive value.

4. Kinetic energy can be transferred from one object to another through collisions or interactions. For example, in a game of pool, when one ball strikes another, the kinetic energy is transferred from the moving ball to the stationary ball, causing it to move.
