Question

HELP!! ME pls which Which of the following graphs correctly shows the relationship between KE and VELOCITY? *

Answer 1

Answer: Option 3.

Explanation:

Formula for kinetic energy is

K.E = (1 / 2) * (m * v ^ 2)

Assuming mass to be constant,

We can see that K.E is proportional to v^2.

It means that when you substitute the value of velocity in v, kinetic energy increases with v^2.

Option 1 and 2 are eliminated because the relationship between kinetic energy and velocity in the graph is shown as linear. We already know from formula that the relationship is not linear.

Option 4 is incorrect because kinetic energy must be zero when velocity is zero. This graph shows kinetic energy is becoming infinite as velocity tends to 0.

So option 3 is correct answer.
