Question

Which quantities affect the amount of kinetic energy that a large truck has while movingdown the highway?O velocity onlyO mass onlyO mass and velocity O weight only

Answer 1

C) mass and velocity

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the quantities that affect the amount of kinetic energy that the truck has.

Kinetic energy is the energy a body has due to its motion and it is given mathematically as:

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

where m = mass; v = velocity

This implies that kinetic energy directly depends on the truck's mass and velocity.

The answer is option C.
