Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. If an object doesn't move quickly, it will usually not have much kinetic energy. Or it might, depending on the mass. Make some assumptions about the mass of your iceberg, and its speed, and do the calculations for the amount of kinetic energy (which is equal to 1/2 x mass x speed squared).

There is a huge amount of kinetic energy in an iceberg. The greater the mass and/or velocity the greater the momentum and kinetic energy.

What is the kinetic energy of iceberg?

The overall kinetic energy of the iceberg could be found using the following formula:Ek = (1/2) * m * v2Therefore, the mass and velocity of the iceberg would need to be known, before you could calculate the kinetic energy. This information wasn't given in the question, so I can't take this calculation any further


If an object's mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy how much kinetic energy does it have?

Mechanical Energy= Potential energy+ Kinetic energy, so for the mechanical energy to be equal to be potential energy, the kinetic energy must be 0.


What has more heat energy an iceberg or hot tea?

It surely depends on how big the iceberg is ,as a really big iceberg contains a lot of thermal energy and much more than a liter of hot water.


If an object's mechanical energy is equal to potential energy how much kinetic energy does the object have?

Mechanical energy is defined as the SUM of potential energy plus kinetic energy. If all of its mechanical energy is potential energy, it follows that it has no kinetic energy.

How much kinetic energy does a book have just it hits the floor?

Just about as much as it had potential energy before it started falling - since most of the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. The exact amount depends from how high it falls.

A moving car has kinetic energy If it speeds up until it is going four times faster than before...how much kinetic energy does it have in comparison?

Kinetic energy is proportional to velocity2, so if velocity is multiplied by four the kinetic energy is multiplied by sixteen
