Two 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

Both fruits have only potential energy and no kinetic energy.
Both fruits have only potential energy and no kinetic energy.

The watermelon B has more kinetic energy.
The watermelon B has more kinetic energy.

Both fruits have the same kinetic and potential energy.
Both fruits have the same kinetic and potential energy.

The watermelon A has more kinetic energy.

Answer 1

The watermelon A has more kinetic energy.

Answer 2

I do not see your table.

However since the acceleration of each is about g or 9.81 m/s^2 their speed is pretty much the same so the kinetic energy
(1/2) m v^2 is likely to be more for the one with the biggest mass.

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. Since the table is not provided, we cannot determine the specific masses and speeds of the watermelons. However, based on the given information, if the mass of watermelon B is larger than watermelon A, then watermelon B will have more kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to both mass and speed, so if mass is larger, kinetic energy will also be larger.
