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.

Answer:

At the beginning you start out with a lot of energy and stamina but as you progress, maybe five minutes in, you start to get out of breath. While breathing harder, you are trying to intake more oxygen and at the 10 minute mark you can feel your muscles burning a little bit and tire out more. At this point you are gasping for oxygen because your muscles are deprived of oxygen and you body makes lactic acids which you muscles can use instead of oxygen. By the end of it you are very tired.

Explanation:

Hope this helps! I am not sure how scientific of an explanation you wanted.

If the pancreas secretes too little insulin, it results in ________. if it secretes too much insulin, it results in ________.
Montano1993 [528]

1 - Diabetes is a possible answer. When to little insulin is secreted, not enough glucose is broken down, which might cause diabetes (high blood sugar levels).


2 - Hypoglicemia. When too much insulin is secreted, all glucose will be broken down, and there will be no glucose left fot the blood (low blood sugar levels.



Hope it helped,

What happens to the concentration of free water molecules when a substance dissolves in the water?
777dan777 [17]
If you are adding something to the water the concentration of water would drop, as it would start off as 100% water but then with the addition of another substance it would change that from 100% free to x% free, due to the water dissolving the substance.
