Which graph accurately shows the relationship between kinetic energy and speed as speed increases?

Which graph accurately shows the relationship between kinetic energy and speed as speed increases class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

B

Explanation:

kinetic energy (KE) is the energy possessed by moving bodies. It can be expressed as:

KE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]m[tex]v^{2}[/tex]

Where: m is the mass of the object, and v its speed.

For example, a stone of mass 2kg was thrown and moves with a speed of 3 m/s. Determine the kinetic energy of the stone.

Thus,

KE =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 2 x [tex]3^{2}[/tex]

     = 9

KE = 9.0 Joules

Assume that the speed of the stone was 4 m/s, then its KE would be:

KE =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 2 x [tex]4^{2}[/tex]

     = 16

KE = 16.0 Joules

Therefore, it can be observed that as speed increases, the kinetic energy increases. Thus option B is appropriate.
