B. it has kinetic energy because it is moving
A soccer ball is sitting still on the ground. A player kicks the ball, and it starts rolling faster and faster. What happens to the ball’s kinetic energy as it speeds up? A. It disappears.
B. It stays the same.
C. It increases.
D. It turns into potential energy.
C. It increases.
What is kinetic energy
energy an object has because it is moving
What is Potential Energy
Energy that is stored because of an object's position or condition.
An object is moving at a certain speed. If its mass is doubled but its speed stays the same, what happens to its kinetic energy?
A. It stays the same.
B. It is cut in half.
C. It doubles.
D. It becomes four times as much.
C. It doubles.
