Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy of mass in motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy it has due to its motion. In Newtonian mechanics, the kinetic energy of a massive body in motion can be calculated as half of its mass times the square of it's the velocity (v): E=1/2mv2. Note that energy is a scalar quantity, I.e., it does not depend on direction, and it's always positive. When we double the mass, the double the energy; however, when we double the velocity, energy increases by the factor of 4.

How is an average mass different from a weighted average mass?

34kurt

With any element, there are a range of isotopes . . . a weighted average mass is used because there exist different isotopes of that element, each of varying mass. A weighted average accounts for the fact that the average mass (that may likely be measured from a random sample of the element) will most likely reflect the average mass of the more abundant isotopes. So the weighted average mass will be most comparable to the more abundant isotopes.
