the the Mas of the Boy. 1. Anan and His Son Run to the Top of a Hill and Stop. The Mass of the Man Is Bigger While They Are Both

Soru

the the mas of the boy. 1. anan and his son run to the top of a hill and stop. The mass of the man is bigger while they are both running at the same speed who has more kinetic energy? would it be possible for them to have the same amount of kinetic energy? How? when they are at the top of the hill who has more GPE?

Cevap

1. The man has more kinetic energy.2. Yes, if the boy's velocity is times that of the man.3. The man has more GPE.

1. Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion. The formula for kinetic energy is , where is the mass of the object and is its velocity. Given that both the man and the boy are running at the same speed, the kinetic energy of each will depend on their respective masses. Since the mass of the man is greater than that of the boy, the man will have more kinetic energy.2. For them to have the same amount of kinetic energy, the boy would need to have a higher velocity than the man. This is because kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity. If the boy's velocity is times that of the man, then his kinetic energy will be twice that of the man.3. Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field. The formula for GPE is , where is the mass of the object, is the acceleration due to gravity, and is the height of the object above a reference point. Since the man is at the top of the hill, he will have more GPE than the boy because his mass is greater.
