The formula for calculating the kinetic energy in an object is shown above. KE will get bigger if
There is more than 1 correct answer
the object has a greater mass
the object is moving quickly
the object is moving slowly
the object has a smaller mass
Which is the best example that something has kinetic energy?
a car parked on a steep hill
a tennis ball rolling across the court
a picture hanging on the wall
a piece of coal before it's burned
If these are all moving at the same speed, the vehicle with the greatest KE would be

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?
As the mass increases, the kinetic energy decreases.
As the mass increases, the kinetic energy doubles.
As mass increases, the kinetic energy increases by the same amount.
What is the relationship between velocity and kinetic energy?
As velocity increases, the kinetic energy increases by the velocity squared.
As velocity increases, the kinetic energy does not change.
As velocity increases, the kinetic energy increases by the same amount.

When thermal energy is added to a substance, the substance's particles move:
More rapidly farther away from each other.
More rapidly closer together.
More slowly farther away from each other.
More slowly closer together.
When thermal energy is removed from a substance, the substance's particles move:
More rapidly closer together.
More rapidly farther apart.
Less rapidly closer together.
Less rapidly farther apart.
