Why does a train have more kinetic energy than a car traveling at the same speed?

Kinetic energy also depends on mass.


Is a race-car traveling at its maximum speed potential or kinetic energy?

A car is not energy; it may have energy. The energy related to movement is called kinetic energy.


What has greater kinetic energy a car traveling at 35 miles per hour or a car traveling at 50 miles per hour?

Kinetic Energy is defined as the energy associated with motion. This is in contrast to potential energy which is associated with an entity's energy at rest, and it's potential for motion. Kinetic Energy can be calculated using this formula: KE = 0.5*Mass*Velocity^2, where KE = Kinetic Energy It is apparent by the formula that the same car traveling at a higher speed will have a greater kinetic energy than it does when traveling at a lower speed. Therefore, when the car travels at 50 mi/hr it has a higher kinetic energy than when it travels at 35 mi/hr. Let me just note that if we were talking about two different cars then we'd have to consider the weights of the cars.


Can two people be moving in different speed and have same kinetec energy?

Certainly, because kinetic energy is determined by both mass and speed. If I'm traveling at 1/2 the speed that you are, but I have 4 times as much mass as you have, then our kinetic energies are equal. And for an example in the other direction . . . If my mass is only 1% of yours, but I'm traveling at 10 times your speed, then our kinetic energies are equal. That's how a bullet or a baseball can knock a grown person off his feet. Kinetic Energy = 1/2 (mass) x (speed)2


How does mass impact kinetic energy?

If two objects traveling at the same non-zero speed, the more massive object will have the greater kinetic energy. K=(1/2)mv2


When kinetic energy increases what happens to the mass and velocity?

Kinetic energy of a mass is directly proportional to two variables: its mass and speed. Many mistake kinetic energy as being proportional to mass and velocity; it is, in fact, mass and speed. (With all technicalities aside, the speed is the factor that matters in computing kinetic energy of an object or a mass). Kinetic Energy = 0.5mv2 (m = mass and v = speed of the mass) Therefore, if the speed of the object increases, the kinetic energy increases. If the speed of the object decreases, the kinetic energy decreases. Similarly, if the mass of the object increases while traveling, its kinetic energy increases. If the mass of the object decreases, the kinetic energy decreases. All has to do with the directly proportional relationship between the two variables and the kinetic energy.


What If you have four balls all traveling at 5 meters per second which one has the most kinetic energy?

If several objects have the same speed and the same velocity,then each has the same kinetic energy.


How does kinetic energy affect speed?

The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its speed.


How does the speed of particle affect its kinetic energy?

The higher the speed the more the kinetic energy.


How can a car and semi truck have the same momentum?

By traveling at the same speed. Kinetic energy is a completely different story, however.

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?

The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If there is a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four. If there is a threefold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of nine.
