Question

A spaceship is traveling through space. Suddenly, its speed increases. What can

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The kinetic energy increases as its speed increases.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

Now, kinetic energy of a moving body is given by;

KE = 1/2 mv^2

Where;

m = mass of the body

v = velocity (speed) of the body

It follows that if the mass of the spaceship is constant, a sudden increase in speed leads to a corresponding increase in the kinetic energy of the spaceship in accordance with the relationship show above.
