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:

As we know that

Kinetic energy is the amount of energy possessed by the body at the time when it is in motion.  

Also,

Kinetic energy = 1 ÷ 2mv²

Here m denotes the mass of the body

and v denotes the velocity of the body.

So it would be based on the mass & velocity of the body

As if the passenger bus contains more kinetic energy as compared to the car because of the big mass

Hence, the first option is correct
