Should a large truck and a small car moving at the same speed have the same kinetic energy?
No. The large truck has more kinetic energy than the car. Mass is a variable in the equation for determining kinetic energy. Kinetic energy equals 1/2 the mass of the object time the speed (really velocity) squared.
If a large truck and a small car are moving at the same speed which has the greater kinetic energy?
The truck - greater mass.
Which has the greater kinetic energy a light car or a heavy truck?
Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity (or speed): KE = (1/2)mv2. At the same speed, obviously the heavier (and more massive) object will have more kinetic energy.
Is thermal energy the same as kinetic energy?
No, thermal is a kind of kinetic energy.
Temperature is not a measurement of the amount of heat?
True! Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance.Heat is the total kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. See the difference?For example, if you double the amount of a substance, then you have double the heat energy, but the temperature stays the same.
Do a truck and a golf cart have the same kinetic energy?
When they're parked they do (which is zero). If a truck and golf cart were both moving at the same non-zero speed, the truck, being more massive, would have the greater kinetic energy.
Should a large truck and a small car moving at the same speed have the same kinetic energy?
No. The large truck has more kinetic energy than the car. Mass is a variable in the equation for determining kinetic energy. Kinetic energy equals 1/2 the mass of the object time the speed (really velocity) squared.
Why does a truck have more kinetic energy than a small car that is moving the same speed of the truck?
a matter of mass
If a large truck and a small car are moving at the same speed which has the greater kinetic energy?
The truck - greater mass.
If a large truck and a small car are moving at the same speed which has the greater kinetic energy Why?
Kinetic energy equals mass times velocity squared. Since the velocities are the same, they cancel out. Then kinetic energy is dependent on the mass of the 2 objects. Since the truck has more mass, it will have more kinetic energy.
Do all the bodies have the same amount of kinetic energy?
Of course not. A battleship in motion has more kinetic energy than a housefly in motion has.
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.
Which has the greater kinetic energy a light car or a heavy truck?
Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity (or speed): KE = (1/2)mv2. At the same speed, obviously the heavier (and more massive) object will have more kinetic energy.
Which object has more kinetic energy a Volkswagen beetle car or an 18 wheeler truck?
kinetic energy is mass x velocity, so if there are going the same speed, the 18 wheeler.
Which has the greatest amount of kinetic energy a bike a motorcycle a car or a semi-tractor trailer truck?
Assuming that these vehicles are all travelling at the same speed, it would be the one with the greatest mass, the tractor-semi, because kinetic energy is given by mv2, where m is mass and v is velocity.
Is thermal energy the same as kinetic energy?
No, thermal is a kind of kinetic energy.
Temperature is not a measurement of the amount of heat?
True! Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance.Heat is the total kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. See the difference?For example, if you double the amount of a substance, then you have double the heat energy, but the temperature stays the same.
