If a ping pong ball and a golf ball are both moving in the same direction with the same amount of kinetic energy, the speed of the ping pong ball must be

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula $KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$, where $m$ is the mass and $v$ is the velocity of the object. Given that the ping pong ball has a much lower mass than the golf ball, for both to have the same kinetic energy, the ping pong ball must have a higher velocity (speed) than the golf ball.
