Which object above, a soccer ball being kicked or a moving car, has the greatest kinetic energy? Explain your reasoning using the highlighted formula for kinetic energy.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The car

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is E= 1/2mv^2

Where;

m= mass

v= velocity

The car has a greater kinetic energy than the ball because its mass and velocity is greater than that of the ball.

Heavier objects usually possess greater kinetic energy than lighter objects. This explains why a moving car has greater kinetic energy than a moving ball.
