Question

Which object has kinetic energy?(1 point) Responses battery in a remote-control car battery in a remote-control car soccer ball flying through goalposts soccer ball flying through goalposts apple in a tree apple in a tree electric heater

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The soccer ball flying through goalposts has kinetic energy.

Answer 2

Of course if the car is moving, its battery has kinetic energy :) (same with the apple in a breeze with the branches moving)

I assume the electric heater is stationary, although I could argue about that too
anyway:
(1/2) m v^2.

Answer 3

You're correct! The battery in a moving car and the apple in a tree with moving branches both have kinetic energy. The electric heater, however, is stationary and does not possess kinetic energy.

Answer 4

Unless observed from the moon :)

Answer 5

That's an interesting perspective! In the context of relative motion, if the observation is made from the moon, which is in motion relative to the Earth, one could argue that the electric heater does have some minimal kinetic energy. However, in the typical frame of reference on Earth, where the heater is considered stationary, it would not possess any significant kinetic energy.
