Question

What question could you ask about kinetic energy which will include the variables that affect it?

Answer 1

To investigate the effect of the initial values of one of the physical quantities on the fraction of mechanical energy dissipated in an inelastic collision, modify the experiment by measuring the change in kinetic energy before and after the collision.

Step-by-step explanation:

To investigate the effect of the initial values of one of the physical quantities on the fraction of mechanical energy dissipated in an inelastic collision, you can modify the experiment as follows:

1. Start by conducting an inelastic collision between two objects of the same mass with different initial velocities.
2. Measure the change in kinetic energy of the system before and after the collision using the equation:
   ∆KE = KEfinal - KEinitial
3. Calculate the fraction of mechanical energy dissipated by dividing the change in kinetic energy by the initial kinetic energy of the system:

• Fraction of mechanical energy dissipated = (∆KE / KEinitial)

Answer 2

KE= (1/2) mv²

So, the variables we need to include in our question would be a varable for a mass(m) of an object at some velocity(v).

What is the Kinetic Energy experienced by an bouncy ball rolling at 7m/s (that's your velocity) across a frictionless surface that has a mass(m) of 10 grams?
