three different-mass projectiles are launched at different angles of elevation from the top of a building. each particle has the same initial kinetic energy. which particle has the greatest kinetic energy just as it impacts with the ground?



Answer :

The correct option is b. The one with the lowest mass.

An object's kinetic energy is determined by

k=1/2mv^2

where

m is the object's mass.

v is the object's speed.

The three missiles in this puzzle have varying masses but the same beginning kinetic energy.

The three projectiles will all have the same kinetic energy when they hit the ground because mechanical energy is conserved, assuming there is no air resistance (because the potential energy that they have lost is the same, since they have been launched from the same height, and they reach the same final altitude, the ground).

hence,

K1=k2=k3
