Lab: Kinetic Energy — Unit test

Question 4 • WA-Physical Science B

Four different balls are moving at the same velocity. Which will have the greatest kinetic energy as it rolls?

Answer
A
a golf ball
B
a bowling ball
C
a tennis ball
D
a soccer ball

Explanation

Kinetic energy depends on an object's mass and speed: KE = ½mv². Since all four balls move at the same velocity, the ball with the greatest mass has the greatest kinetic energy. A bowling ball is much heavier than a golf ball, tennis ball, or soccer ball, so it has the greatest kinetic energy.
