As an object in motion speeds up or "becomes heavier", its kinetic energy increases proportionally: double the velocity and you quadruple the kinetic energy. This is why a tiny bullet traveling at high speed does so much more damage than a huge truck bumping into something at 1 mph.
Answer: Choice C
As an object in motion becomes heavier, its kinetic energy increases proportionally.
The kinetic energy of an object is the energy due to the motion of the object.
Mathematically, the kinetic energy of a moving object is given by:
K.E. (Kinetic Energy) = [tex]\frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex], where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity.
Thus, the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of objects. Therefore, if the mass of an object in motion is increased, the kinetic energy will increase proportionally.
