Question

students determined the kinetic energy of a 1 - kilogram ball moving at three different speeds. the data are shown in the table. based on the data, what can be concluded about the kinetic energy of the ball? it is equal to its speed it increases as its speed increases it does not depend on its mass or its speed it depends on its mass but not on its speed.

Explanation:

Observamos los valores de la tabla. Cuando la velocidad es \(1\) m/s, la energía cinética es \(0.5\) J; cuando la velocidad es \(2\) m/s, la energía cinética es \(2\) J; y cuando la velocidad es \(4\) m/s, la energía cinética es \(8\) J. Vemos que a medida que la velocidad aumenta (de \(1\) a \(2\) a \(4\) m/s), la energía cinética también aumenta (de \(0.5\) a \(2\) a \(8\) J).

Answer:

It increases as its speed increases.
