Question

Scenario:
Two marbles role down a hill.
Marble 1 has a mass of 0.2g
Marble 2 has a mass of 1.2g
Marble 1 traveled 22cm in 0.8 seconds
Marble 2 traveled 26cm in 0.8 seconds

Determine the Kinetic Energy involved with each marble
Formulas you will need;

KE = (1/2)mv^2
v=d/t

Answer 1

Explanation:

K.E. of marble 1 = (1/2) × 0.2 × (22/0.8) ^2

= 0.1 × 756.25

= 75.625

K.E. of marble 2 = (1/2) × 1.2 × (26/0.8)^2

= 0.6 × 1056.25

= 633.75
