Question

Which quantities affect the amount of kinetic energy that a large truck has while movingdown the highway?O velocity onlyO mass onlyO mass and velocity O weight only

Answer 1

ANSWER

C) mass and velocity

EXPLANATION

We want to find the quantities that affect the amount of kinetic energy that the truck has.

Kinetic energy is the energy a body has due to its motion and it is given mathematically as:

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m = mass; v = velocity

This implies that kinetic energy directly depends on the truck's mass and velocity.

The answer is option C.
