Question

Two bodies of mass m₁ & m₂ are moving with the same velocity 'v' K.E. will be greater for??

Answer 1

Answer:

the one with a higher mass

Explanation:

The body with more mass will have the greater kinetic energy of the two.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of body. It is mathematically expressed as:

           K.E  = $\frac{1}{2}$  m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

 Since the velocity of the two bodies are the same, and mass is directly proportional to kinetic energy, the body with more mass will have a higher kinetic energy.

 So between mass m1 and mass m2, the one with a greater mass will have a higher kinetic energy
