Question

HELP!!! 20 PNTS!!!! And Brainliest!!! A car, a bike, a bus, and a motorcycle are moving parallel to each other on a road. Each vehicle is traveling at the same speed. The ____ will have the highest kinetic energy, while the _____ will have the lowest kinetic energy.

Answer 1

The bus will have the highest kinetic energy and the bike will have the least kinetic energy because kinetic energy =1/2 mass × velocity squared

Answer 2

In order to answer that, we would have to take the mass of each of them. The higher the mass, means there is higher the kinetic energy. We use the equation:

Ek = 1/2*m*v^2

Since velocity will be the same speed, it will be constant. The mass is what makes the difference with the bus having the maximum and the bike having the minimum kinetic energy.
