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

The complete sentence is:
A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.
In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation
where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.
