Front

In the kinetic energy formula (KE = 1/2mv²) the m stands for ______

Back

mass

Front

In the kinetic energy formula (KE = 1/2mv²) the v stands for ______

Back

velocity

Front

What unit would the quantity that would replace the 'v' be measured with?

Back

meters per second

Front

What unit would the quantity that would replace the 'm' be measured with?

Back

kilograms

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2mv²

Front

What does the variable 'KE' represent in the kinetic energy formula?

Back

Kinetic Energy

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy when velocity is constant?

Back

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass.

Front

How does an increase in velocity affect kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with the square of the velocity.

Front

If the mass of an object is doubled, how does that affect its kinetic energy at a constant velocity?

Back

The kinetic energy also doubles.
