What is the shape of the graph between speed and kinetic energy of a body?
Options
- AA straight line
- BA hyperbola
- CA parabola
- DExponential
Correct answer
C. A parabola
Step-by-step solution
The kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. Kinetic energy, K . E = 1 2 m v 2 ∝ v 2
