The answer for the following questions is explained below.
Explanation:
The two variables that affect kinetic energy are:
- mass and
- velocity
- velocity - The faster an object moves,the more the kinetic energy it has.
- mass - Kinetic energy increases as mass increases
The kinetic energy of an object depends on both its mass and its velocity
Kinetic energy increases as mass increases
For example,think about rolling a bowling ball and a golf ball down a bowling lane at same velocity
Here,the bowling ball has more mass than the golf ball
Therefore you use more energy to roll the bowling ball than to roll the golf ball
The bowling ball is more likely to knock down the pins because it has more kinetic energy than the golf ball
