Question

Analyze the data from Data Table 2. As the mass of an object doubles, its kinetic energy

1. is halved
2. doubled
3. quadrupled
4. does not change

Answer 1

Answer: 2- doubled

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

for m=0.02 kg, v=5 m/s, kinetic energy is 0.25 J

for same velocity and double mass i.e.

m=0.04 kg, v=5 m/s, kinetic energy is 0.50 J

same is with

m=0.08 kg, v=5 m/s , kinetic energy is double to
`2* 0.5=1\ J`

So, on doubling the mass, kinetic energy is doubled
