Question
Two objects, one of mass 5 kg and the other of mass 10 kg, are dropped from the top of a building. When they hit the ground (neglecting air resistance) both will have the same kinetic energy.
the heavier one will have one fourth the kinetic energy of the lighter one.
the heavier one will have half the kinetic energy of the lighter one.
the heavier one will have twice the kinetic energy of the lighter one.
the heavier one will have four times the kinetic energy of the lighter one.
Explanation / Answer
c
the heavier one will have twice the kinetic energy of the lighter one.
