Answer:
<em>The second ball has four times as much kinetic energy as the first ball.</em>
Explanation:
<u>Kinetic Energy </u>
Is the type of energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.
The equation for the kinetic energy is:
Where:
m = mass of the object
v = speed at which the object moves
The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)
Two tennis balls have the same mass m and are served at speeds v1=30 m/s and v2=60 m/s.
The kinetic energy of the first ball is:
The kinetic energy of the second ball is:
Being m the same for both balls, the second ball has more kinetic energy than the first ball.
To find out how much, we find the ratio:
Simplifying:
The second ball has four times as much kinetic energy as the first ball.
