What happens to the kinetic energy of an object if its mass is halved and its speed is also halved?
The new kinetic energy is of the original kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy (KE) is given by the formula:
If the object's mass is halved and its speed is also halved, we can see how this affects the kinetic energy.
Original Kinetic Energy:
New Mass:
New Speed:
New Kinetic Energy:
