PLEASE HELP DUE TODAY!

How does the mass of a moving object affect the amount of kinetic energy it has? Describe the evidence you need to collect to test your prediction, and include a reason why you think this evidence is necessary.​

Answer:

Since the Kinetic energy forumla is K=(1/2)mv^2 if you double the mass the kinetic energy of the object also doubles. for example if your object has a mass of 3 and a velocity of 2 then its K.E. equals 6, if you then double its mass the kinetic energy now equals 12. A good analogy would be something like a bowling ball, if you throw a 12 pound ball at the same speed as a 6 pound ball, the force from the 12 pound ball would be exactly double to the 6 pound ball.

Step-by-step explanation:

man, english isnt my strong suit. you have all you need here to make a A level answer just fix grammar as needed. I cant imagine this is a high level physics class so in reality just make it so it would be plagirsm detected.

Also a side note this may help you in the future. if u double its velocity its K.E. actually quadruples since V is squared.
