Which of the following describes the relationship between kinetic energy, mass, and velocity?
\(2KE=m v^2 \)
\(KE= \frac{\mathrm{1} }{\mathrm{2} } m^2v \)
\(3KE=m^2v\)
\( \frac{\mathrm{KE} }{\mathrm{3} }=m v^2 \)
Detailed Explanation
\(2KE=m v^2 \)
This formula states that the kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of its velocity and directly proportional to its mass. In other words, as the velocity of an object increases, its kinetic energy increases proportionally to the square of the velocity. Similarly, an increase in the mass of an object also leads to a proportional increase in its kinetic energy.
