Question

As an object in motion becomes heavier, its kinetic energy _____. A. increases exponentially B. decreases exponentially C. increases proportionally D. decreases proportionally

Answer 1

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

the answer is c. as an object is in motion speeds up or “becomes heavier”, it’s kinetic energy increases proportionally: double the velocity and you quadruple the kinetic energy. this is why a tiny bullet traveling at high speed does so much more damage than a huge truck bumping into something at 1 mph. so the answer is c
