What is the formula for kinetic energy?

  1. $K = rac{1}{2}mv^2$

  2. $K = mv$

  3. $K = rac{1}{2}m^2v$

  4. $K = rac{1}{2}mv^3$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. It is given by the formula $K = rac{1}{2}mv^2$, where $m$ is the mass of the object and $v$ is its velocity.

What are the units of kinetic energy?

  1. Joules

  2. Watts

  3. Newtons

  4. Meters per second


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The units of kinetic energy are Joules. One Joule is equal to one kilogram meter squared per second squared.

What happens to the kinetic energy of an object when its velocity is doubled?

  1. It is doubled

  2. It is quadrupled

  3. It is halved

  4. It remains the same


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity. Therefore, if the velocity of an object is doubled, its kinetic energy is quadrupled.

What happens to the kinetic energy of an object when its mass is doubled?

  1. It is doubled

  2. It is quadrupled

  3. It is halved

  4. It remains the same


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to its mass. Therefore, if the mass of an object is doubled, its kinetic energy is doubled.

A 10 kg object is moving at a velocity of 5 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?

  1. 125 J

  2. 250 J

  3. 500 J

  4. 1000 J


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the object is given by the formula $K = rac{1}{2}mv^2$. Substituting the values of $m$ and $v$, we get $K = rac{1}{2}(10 kg)(5 m/s)^2 = 250 J$.
