As shown below, an object with a mass of 5 kg is moving at a speed of 10m / s Another object with a mass of 10 kg is moving at a speed of 5m / s
5 kg
10 m/s
10 kg
5 m/s
Which of the objects has higher kinetic energy?
(1pont)
The 10 kg object has higher kinetic energy.
The objects have squal kinetic energy.
Both objects have zero kinetic energy.
The 5 kg object has higher kinetic energy.
The kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula KE = (1/2)mv^2, where m represents the mass of the object and v represents its velocity.
For the 5 kg object:
KE = (1/2)(5 kg)(10 m/s)^2 = 250 J
For the 10 kg object:
KE = (1/2)(10 kg)(5 m/s)^2 = 125 J
Therefore, the 5 kg object has higher kinetic energy.
