Answer:
Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B = 1:5
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of object A = 200 kg
Mass of object B = 1,000 kg
Find:
Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B
Computation:
Kinetic energy = (1/2)(m)(v²)
Kinetic energy of object A = (1/2)(200)(v²)
Kinetic energy of object A = (100)(v²)
Kinetic energy of object B = (1/2)(1,000)(v²)
Kinetic energy of object B = (500)(v²)
Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B = Kinetic energy of object A / Kinetic energy of object B
Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B = (100)(v²) / (500)(v²)
Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B = 100 / 500
Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B = 1/5
Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B = 1:5
