How would the kinetic energy of a 12,000 kg train compare with the kinetic energy of a 900 kg compact car if both were traveling at the same speed?A. the trains kinetic energy would be equal to the cars kinetic energy.
B. The trains kinetic energy would be greater than the cards kinetic energy.
C. The trains kinetic energy would be less than the cars kinetic energy.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Kinetic energy of any object is (1/2) x (object's mass) x (object's speed)².

If the speeds are the same, you can see from this formula that the bigger
mass has the bigger kinetic energy, in direct proportion.

The train has (12,000/900) = 13 and 1/3 times as much kinetic energy as the car has.

The correct choice is 'B'.

(In the real world, 12,000 kg might only cover the locomotive.)
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer: It would be B.

Explanation:

It would be B because since the car is 900 kg and the train is 12,000 kg the train is much bigger. It wouldn't be A because we all know that 12 is greater then 9. It would go the same for C as well. So thecorrect answer is B since the train is much bigger thta means it has more kinetic energy.

If Lake Ontario were as cold as a continental arctic air mass that flowed over it, the lake effect snow _____.A.would be very strong
B.would be very weak
C.would occur as normal

Answers

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Lake effect snow generally occurs when the cold winds extracts the water content (moisture) from the relatively warmer lakes and carries further and precipitates back on the land areas in the form of snow. Much of the snow is originated from the lake Ontario and it deposits on the nearby terrestrial areas.

So, when the Lake Ontario is cold enough like the air mass that blows in the continental arctic, then it indicates that the lake effect snow would be comparatively very much weak.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Answer: B
