Question

How does the mass of a bowling ball that has been rolled down the lane affect the kinetic energy? A) The kinetic energy does not depend on the mass of the bowling ball. B) The kinetic energy is increases proportional to the mass of the bowling ball. C) The kinetic energy is decreases proportional to the mass of the bowling ball. D) The kinetic energy is increases proportional to the square of the mass of the bowling ball.

Answer 1

The answer is B!!!!!!

Answer 2

Answer: B) The kinetic energy is increases proportional to the mass of the bowling ball.

Step-by-step explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

Kinetic energy is calculated by the formula:

`K.E=(1mv^2)/(2)`

K.E= Kinetic energy

m= mass of object

v = velocity of object

As Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object, Kinetic energy increases as the mass of the object increases.

Kinetic energy increases proportional to the square of the velocity.
