A truck weighing 5 x 10³ kg force.

A cart weighing 500 kg force.

Moving with the same speed complete their

kinetic energies.

As we know that,

Formula of:

→ Kinetic energy = 1/2 x m x v².

Using this formula in the equation, we get.

(1).

→ For truck = 1/2 x 5 x 10³ x v².-----

→ For cart = 1/2 x 500 x v². -----(2).

Divide equation (1) and (2), we get.

⇒ KE₁/KE₂ = 5 x 10³/5 x 10².

➡ KE₁/KE₂ = 10/1.

⇒ KE₁/KE₂ = 10:1.
