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.

Distinguish between evolution and naturalselection.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Evolution - It occurs due to the continuous variations and diversifications coming from the past generations

Natural Selection - In this process, the individuals are naturally selected by the environment that fits in perfectly!

Evolution - Driven by natural selection

Natural Selection- Driven by new characters that are the results of mutations

Evolution - Duration of Action Acquires millions of years

Natural Selection -  Can be done in a short duration

Evolution - Example ;- Darwin’s finches, bright-colored peacocks, Mexican cavefish, etc.

Natural Selection -Example ;- Tree-frogs are mostly eaten by snakes, giraffes with short and long necks, etc.

Early changes in the brain during exposure to addictive drugs involves the insertion of ________ receptors into neuron membranes
Katena32 [7]
Early changes in the brain during exposure to addictive drugs involves the insertion of AMPA receptors into neuron membranes located within the VTA. AMPA receptor is an ionotropic transmembrane receptor for glutamate that is responsible in mediating fast synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. They provide initial depolarization that ultimately results in NMDA receptor activation.
