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 characteristic of are found in veins but not arteries?
Paul [167]

Answer: Possession of Valves

Explanation: Veins possess valves which ensures that blood flows in only one direction. Valves helps blood to flow back to the heart against gravitational force.

Arteries don't have valves because the pressure originating from the heart is capable of causing the blood to flow in one direction.
