Two identical cars are driving in opposite directions at the same speed. their kinetic energies have ____.

1 answer:

6 0

The equation for determining the kinetic energy of the system is,

KE = 0.5mv²

where m is the mass, v is velocity and KE is the kinetic energy. When both objects have the same mass, and velocity but different direction, they will have the same kinetic energy.

This is because the exponent in the velocity is squared cancelling out the effect of the sign appearing before the number.

You can describe the _______________ of an object by saying it is moving in a straight line or is curved around another object.

velikii [3]

Answer:

You can describe the motion of an object by saying it is moving in a straight line or is curved around another object. You can also describe where an object is by its position in relation to another object. The second object acts as a reference point. When an object changes position, you know it has motion. Motion can also be described by finding an object's speed or how fast or slow it moves in a certain amount of time. In addition, you can describe the object's speed AND direction together. This is called velocity

Explanation:

In the given answer-

Motion is defined as - the change in the movement or position of any object or body.

Position is said to be a place or somewhere or a location where any object or body is particularly placed/located or put on.

Reference point is a fixed point with regards to which any object or body changes its position. It is also called reference origin.

Speed is defined as the rate of any object covering certain distances. It is a scaler quantity (quantity which depends upon only magnitude).

Velocity is defined as the rate of speed per unit time. It is a vector quantity (quantity depending upon both magnitude and direction ).
