A small car is traveling at a speed of 60 mph on the highway. In the next lane, a large passenger bus is traveling at the same speed.


Sagot :

Answer:

A. The bus has more kinetic energy than the car.

Explanation:

We know that

Kinetic energy is the energy amount possessed from the body as in the motion

Also, the following formula should be used to determine the kinetic energy

Kinetic energy = 1 ÷ 2mv²

Here m represents the mass of the body  

and v represents the velocity of the body.

Therefore it should be based on the mass & velocity of the body  

In the case when the passenger bus have more kinetic energy as compared to the car so this is because of the the big mass  

Therefore, the first option is correct
