Answer:

mv^2

Explanation:

Calling m the mass of each object and v its speed, the kinetic energy of one object is given by

K_1 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

As we can see, the value of the kinetic energy depends only on the speed, not on the direction of the velocity. Therefore, the kinetic energy of the second object is the same:

K_2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

And so, the total kinetic energy is

K=K_1 +K_2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mv^2

A ball with a mass of 5.0 g is moving at a speed of 2.0 m/s. Would doubling the mass or doubling the speed have a greater effect
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

doubling the speed will have a greater impact on kinetic energy as KE is a product of mass and the square of velocity.

KE = ½mv²

Base KE = ½(0.005)2.0² = 0.01 J

doubling the mass

        KE = ½(0.010)2.0² = 0.02 J

doubling the velocity

        KE = ½(0.005)4.0² = 0.04 J

Mass refers to the gravitational force on the matter in contact with the surface of a planet
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: Yes and no.

Explanation: Mass is the amount of matter in an object, whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity. Objects on the surface of the earth have weight, although sometimes the weight is difficult to measure.
