As shown below, an object with a mass of 5 kg is moving at a speed of 10 m/s. Another object with a mass of 10 kg is moving at a speed of 5 m/s. Which of the objects has higher kinetic energy? (1 point) Responses
Both objects have zero kinetic energy.
The objects have equal kinetic energy.
The 5 kg object has higher kinetic energy.
The 10 kg object has higher kinetic energy.
The formula to calculate kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2.
Calculating the kinetic energy for the first object:
KE1 = 1/2 * 5 kg * (10 m/s)^2 = 250 J
Calculating the kinetic energy for the second object:
KE2 = 1/2 * 10 kg * (5 m/s)^2 = 125 J
Therefore, the 5 kg object has higher kinetic energy. The correct answer is: The 5 kg object has higher kinetic energy.
