(Hint: There is no need to calculate anything. Use the relationships between the physical quantities in the equation for your explanation.) \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #735594 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! KE is proportional to the square of the velocity and to the first power of mass. Therefore, any change in the velocity is more effective at increasing or in this case decreasing the amount of energy than changing the mass. \n" ); document.write( " |
