Problem 7:__deletededc326999bef85931fda5d1ab0d68e21218f27b46f4f11ab80872358251b584ddeleted__ 0N86-C1-52-40-A837-22820 If object A is twice the mass of object B what can be said about their kinetic energies just as they hit the ground

Sagot :

Answer:

the kinetic energy of body B is twice the kinetic energy of body A

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is given by

          K = ½ m v²

If two objects leave the same point, suppose that at the same height when they reach the ground they have the same velocity.

Therefore if the mass of body b is twice the mass of body A

          [tex]m_{b} = 2 m_{a}[/tex]

         [tex]K_{b}[/tex] = ½ (2 [tex]m_{a}[/tex]) v²

          K_{b} = 2 (½ m_{a} v²)

          K_{b} = 2 K_{a}

therefore the kinetic energy of body B is twice the kinetic energy of body A
