KINETIC ENERGY
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Define kinetic energy. | energy of motion of an object |
| List the two factors that determine kinetic energy: | mass and velocity |
| Write the equation for finding kinetic energy: | KE=1/2 mv^2 |
| What is the kinetic energy of a 20.0 kg child running across a playground at a velocity of 2.0 m/s? (Ignore friction) | 40.0 J |
| Explain how to determine the energy of motion for a car moving down the road. | Energy of motion is kinetic energy. To determine the KE of the moving car, the speed (velocity) and the mass of the car would be needed.These values would be used in the equation to determine the KE of the car. |
