Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of an object's velocity.
If you graph the object's kinetic energy against the square of its speed, the
graph is a straight line, and the slope of the line is 1/2 of the object's mass.

∙ 13y agoThis goes back to the derivation of kinetic energy.
Consider a body of mass m, initially at rest, being accelerated by a constant force F to a speed v through a distance s.
The acceleration produced by the force is given by
a = F/m
Applying Newton's equation of motion v2 = u2 +2as, we have
v2 = 0 +2(F/m)s
Fs = 1/2 mv2
The work done by the force, Fs, is completely converted into the kinetic energy of the body.
Thus kinetic energy = 1/2 mv2
This is where the v2 comes from.

There is a 50 percent chance the genotype of the offspring will contain a dominant geneCould this count as a correct way to explain the outcome of a punnet square?
No. The punnet square should yield 75% dominant. If the sides of the square are A and a versus A and a, capital A meaning the dominant gene, which expresses over the recessive gene "a" whenever it is present, then the possible outcomes in the square are: AA, Aa. aA, and aa. Three out of four, or 75%, are dominant.
What is the advantage of sexual reproduction versus asexual reproduction?
I like potatoes
What is an autotrophic organism?
Anything that captures its own energy from external non-living sources, such as the sun, deep-sea thermal vents, etc. Auto=self, hetero=other. Hence "self-feeding" versus "feeding on others"
Studying the role of genetics in behavior is best defined as what?
Nature versus Nurture.
What are the effects of pure sand versus potting soil on plant growth rate?
im not sure
Velocity versus time?
Yes.
How do you compare the units of work and kinetic energy?
Work and kinetic energy are defined as scalar energy and have the same units joules. dW=F.dr = (dP/dt) dr=dP(dr/dt) = dPv = vdP= mvdv W = F.r = mv^2/2. Physics has defined scalar energy but has no definition for vector energy mcV. Torque which is T= Fxr should be recognized as vector energy but it is defined as "Torque". This is another example of Physics not appreciating that the Universe is made of Quaternions, a Scalar part and a Vector part. E= FR = -F.R + FxR where the scalar energy has been defined as work (F.R) and the vector energy is defined as Torque FxR. Kinetic energy is a transformation of work in terms of mass and velocity versus force and distance. The vector energy is not called energy. See link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque
What does the slope of a distance versus time represent?
velocity
What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a line is not zero?
Assuming the graph is for displacement versus time, the motion should be constant velocity. If velocity versus time motion is constant acceleration
Will the graph of instantaneous velocity versus time have a Y-axis intercept of zero?
If you started at zero velocity, yes.
How can you investigate absorbance versus time and not concentration versus time like you normally do for any kinetic investigation?
Too many words
What line segments on a velocity versus time graph is physically impossible?
A vertical line on a velocity vs time graph is physically impossible.
What does the slope of distance-versus-time graph represent physically?
instantaneous magnitude of velocity
What does the slope of they curve on a velocity-versus-time graph represent?
The rate of change in accelleration.
Escape velocity of earth versus escape velocity on Uranus?
EV on Earth is 11.186 km/s EV on Uranus is 21.3 km/s
What cells use active transport?
Energy, versus passive in which energy is not used.
What does the slope of distance versus time graph represent physically?
Tangent of the slope at any point = velocity
