Car a and car b are traveling to the same destination. if car a is traveling slower than car b, which statement is true? a) car b has more energy than car a b) car a has more energy than car b. c) car a will arrive at the destination first. d) both cars will arrive at the destination at the same time.

A) Car B has more energy than Car A

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a car is given by:

where

m is the mass of the car

v is its speed.

In this problem, we know that:

- The speed of car B is greater than the speed of car A

- We assume that the mass of the two cars is the same

Therefore, since the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, this means that car B has greater kinetic energy than car A.

answer: option c.

explanation:

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy
