Answer:
Car A has twice the energy of car B.
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of an object is given by :
[tex]K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]
Where
m is the mass
v is the speed of the object
Car A has twice the mass of Car B. Both travel at the same speed i.e.
[tex]m_A=2m_B[/tex]
So,
[tex]\dfrac{K_A}{K_B}=\dfrac{(1/2)m_Av^2}{(1/2)m_Bv^2}\\\\=\dfrac{2m_B}{m_B}\\\\\dfrac{K_A}{K_B}=2\\\\K_A=2\times K_B[/tex]
So, the kinetic energy of car A is twice of the kinetic energy of car B.
