Which has more kinetic energy- A small object or a large object moving at the speed of 25 mph?
You don't say what speed the small object has. If both have the same speed then the heavier one will have more kinetic energy.
Does a small horse have the same kinetic energy as a larger horse moving at the same speed?
no
What The build up of speed in a moving object?
Potential energy, which can be released as kinetic energy. Kinetic energy not the build up of speed in a moving object.
What type of energy is when the motion of a skateboard?
A moving skateboard has kinetic energy. If it is moving down an incline, it also has potential energy that is converted to kinetic energy as it gains speed. If its moving up an incline, kinetic energy is converted to potential energy as it loses speed.
Does a small horse have the same kinetic energy as a larger horse that's moving at the same speed?
Yes
If a large truck and a small car are moving at the same speed which has the greater kinetic energy?
The truck - greater mass.
How is moving air a source of energy?
Moving air has both mass and speed, therefore it has kinetic energy. In principle, this can be converted into other forms of energy.
What does the amount of kinetic energy of a moving object depend?
The kinetic energy depends on the object's mass, and on its speed.
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.
Does a small horse has the same amount of kinetic energy as a larger horse moving at the same speed?
The more massive horse that is moving at the same speed will have greater kinetic energy. How do you define large and small? A small fat horse may have more mass than a large skinny horse.
What two factors determine how much kinetic energy a moving energy?
Do you mean "a moving object"? Then the answer is mass & speed.
Does solid have the highest kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy does not depend upon the phase of matter; it depends upon the amount of matter, and the speed with which it is moving. One pound of matter, whether gas, liquid, or solid, moving at a specific speed, has the same kinetic energy.
