The mass of car 2 is twice the mass of car 1. If both cars have the same velocity, how does the kinetic energy of car 2 compare to car 1?

A
Car 2 has four times the kinetic energy.
B
Car 2 has twice the kinetic energy.
C
Both cars have the same kinetic energy.
D
Both cars increase in kinetic energy if they slow down.

Explain the work-energy theorem, including the direction energy moves and how it relates to positive and negative work.

Answer:

The workenergy theorem states that work is the change in energy resulting from a change in velocity. When positive work is done, energy is transferred from the environment to the object, and the object's velocity increases. When negative work is done, the object transfers energy to the environment, and the object's velocity decreases.

What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.

A
Work is the change in energy brought about by a change in velocity.
B
When the velocity of an object increases, the environment has done work on the object and the energy of that object is increased.
C
When the velocity of an object decreases, the object has done work on the environment and the energy of the object is decreased.
