It depends on the mass of the object.K.E = 1/2mv2 =1/2mv*v = 1/2pv where p = momentum = mass * velocity.That is K.E = 1/2 pv.momentum depends on mass and velocity.Let in the first case K.E =1/2pv....(1) in the second case K.E = 1/2p1v but p1 = 3p. Then K.E = 1/2*3pv = 3*1/2pv = 3*K.E.

If the kinetic energy of a particle is tripled, then its momentum must increase by the square root of 3, or about a factor of 1.732.

What will happen to the potential and kinetic energy as the ball falls?
Gravitational potential energy increases; kinetic energy increases.
What will happen to the kinetic energy for an object if its mass is double but the velocity remains at the same?
Kinetic Energy = (1/2)*(mass)*(velocity)2 If you double the mass, then the kinetic energy will double If you double the velocity, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of 4
Is Kinetic energy waiting to happen true or false?
True
What energy transfer happen when you plug in a blender?
When turned on, a blender has kinetic energy, because it's blades are in motion. (when off, the blender has potention energy.)
What happens the the kinetic energy of a falling object?
If the object's falling energy increases (this would happen if the object is already falling downward, and air resistance is small), then the kinetic energy will increase.
What will happen to the potential and kinetic energy as the ball falls?
Gravitational potential energy increases; kinetic energy increases.
What happen to the potential energy of an object as it falls?
It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)
Which state of energy is when something is ABOUT to happen?
Potential energy is energy that is not kinetic or moving.
When she releases the ball what is will happen?
the ball will have kinetic energy and potential energy.
How does kinetic energy happen?
if a body posses motion
What will happen to the kinetic energy of the object as it falls?
Increase.
What will happen to the kinetic energy of the body if the mass of the body is halved and velocity remains the same?
Kinetic energy will also be halved. Because kinetic energy is equal to 1/2 mv2
What will happen to the kinetic energy for an object if its mass is double but the velocity remains at the same?
Kinetic Energy = (1/2)*(mass)*(velocity)2 If you double the mass, then the kinetic energy will double If you double the velocity, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of 4
Is Kinetic energy waiting to happen true or false?
True
What happen to kinetic energy of particles of liquids when its temperature is raised?
Since temperature is a measure of kinetic energy, so as kinetic energy increases, temperature must also increase or vice verse
What will happen to the kinetic energy of a body if m equals 2m?
Kinetic energy = 1/2 (mv)2 if m increase by 2m, then Kinetic increases by 2
What should happen to the temperature if the kinetic energy is reduced?
It will decrease
