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

Kinetic energy is given by the formula KE=1/2mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the speed of the object. Since both the ping pong ball and golf ball have the same amount of kinetic energy, and the golf ball has a larger mass than the ping pong ball, the speed of the ping pong ball must be greater in order to have the same kinetic energy. Therefore, the correct answer is B, more than the golf ball.
