Answered

A car with a mass of 2000 kg and a boat with a mass of 500 kg are both moving at the same speed.
What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of the car to the kinetic energy of the boat?
A. 2:1
B. 4:1
C. 9:1
D. 16:1

Answer :

Answer:

B

Explanation:

 

Kinetic energy is possesed by a body by virtue of its motion. The ratio of the kinetic energy of the car to the boat is 4:1.

What is Kinetic energy?

The term kinetic energy refers to the energy that is possesed by a body by virtue of its motion.

Now;

Kinetic energy of the car = 0.5 * 2000 * v^2

Kinetic energy of the boat = 0.5 * 500 * v^2

The ratio of the kinetic energy of the car to that of te boat is; 0.5 * 2000 * v^2/0.5 * 500 * v^2 = 4:1
