Answer:
d) The speed of the astronaut
Explanation:
The sentence describes the speed of the astronaut. This speed value is 10meters per minute.
Now let us understand why;
- Speed is the distance divided by time. It is a scalar quantity without regard for direction but it has magnitude.
- The value 10meters per minute clearly shows this instance. We do not know the direction the astronaut is moving towards.
- Velocity, like speed is the displacement of a body with time. It is a vector quantity and it shows the direction of motion.
- For example, 10m/s due west is a velocity value because we know the direction.
Therefore, since there is no directional sense, the value indicates speed.
We Know, K.E. = 1/2 × m × v²
From the expression, we can conclude that Kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass. So, as mass will increase, Kinetic energy will also increase.
In short, Your Correct answer would be Option B
