As you learned, kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2. Call the velocity of object 1 v. Then, object 2 travels at 2v. The kinetic energy is object 1 is then 1/2mv^2 and that of object 2 is 1/2m(2v)^2=4(1/2mv^2). Therefore, the kinetic energy os the faster object is  times that of the slower one.

The greater the speed of two identical masses, the greater the kinetic energy.  So, the mass that is traveling twice as fast as the other has much more kinetic energy.  The formula for kinetic energy is KE=m*v^2 (kinetic energy equals mass times velocity squared), and velocity is the same as speed in this case because it is squared.  So, the mass traveling twice as fast has 4 times the kinetic energy, because 2 squared=2*2=4.

Answer: The mass traveling twice as fast has four times the kinetic energy.

What structures have rna
Ksivusya [100]
Structurally, DNA and RNA are nearly identical. As mentioned earlier, however, there are three fundamental differences that account for the very different functions of the two molecules. RNA has a ribose sugar instead of a deoxyribose sugar like DNA. RNA nucleotides have a uracil base instead of thymine.

Well first i just wanna say that life on mars has been discovered,not little green men but Bactria found on the surface and small traces of water have been found as well. some forms of life need little water to survive (like bacteria) but they still need water so yes there is water on mars the question is will we find it.

With what kinds of bacteria did Griffith inject mice
Aneli [31]
<span>The S strain of bacteria that Griffith used was virulent meaning that when injected into the mouse, the mouse would die from pneumonia The R strain was nonvirulent and did not result in the death of the mouse. When Griffith injected mice with a dead S strain of pneumatic bacteria the mice remained healthy.

I hope this helps!
