Answer:
The kinetic energy of bocce ball is more.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a bowling ball, m₁ = 4 kg
Speed of the bowling ball, v₁ = 1 m/s
Mass of bocce ball, m₂ = 1 kg
Speed of bocce ball, v₂ = 4 m/s
We need to say which has more kinetic energy.
The kinetic energy of an object is given by :
[tex]E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]
Kinetic energy of the bowling ball,
[tex]E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2\\\\E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times (1)^2\\\\E_1=2\ J[/tex]
The kinetic energy of the bocce ball,
[tex]E_2=\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\\E_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times (4)^2\\\\E_2=8\ J[/tex]
So, the kinetic energy of bocce ball is more than that of bowling ball.
