A yellow ball with a mass of 2 kg is rolling across the floor at 3 m's A red ball with a mass of 3 kg is rolling across the

same floor at 3 m's Which ball has greater kinetic energy, and why?
The yellow ball has greater kinetic energy, because it is rolling at a higher position above the ground
The red ball has greater kinetic energy, because it has a greater mass
The yellow ball has greater kinetic energy, because it is rolling at a greater speed
The red ball has greater kinetic energy, because it is releasing more thermal energy

Answer:

The red ball has greater kinetic energy, because it has a greater mass

Step-by-step explanation:

just look at the formula : K.E. = 1/2 m v(^2) (the ^2 is an exponent.)

Answer:
The red ball has a greater kinetic energy, because it has a greater mass

Step-by-step explanation:
Mass is directly proportional to kinetic energy, as one increases, so does the other
