Question

Give one example of each of the following a) Small mass but high kinetic energy. b) Large mass but low kinetic energy.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) A bullet that has a small mass fired from a gun has high kinetic energy since the bullet is fired with great velocity.

b) A heavy truck that has a large mass moving slowly due to heavy traffic has low kinetic energy since its velocity is less.

Answer 2

The examples for the provided questions are given below:

a) Example is a bullet that is fired with handgun or a pistol.

• The bullet mass is quite little in this scenario.
• When fired or discharged from the gun, however, it has a great velocity and can pierce an object.
• This fast velocity indicates that it has high kinetic energy or energy of motion.

b) Example is shotput metal ball thrown by athletes in shotput event.

• Shotput is a hefty metal ball that weighs between six and sixteen pounds.
• It has low kinetic energy when thrown because it is a metallic solid with closely bound interatomic particles, and so develops low velocity when thrown from a distance due to its large mass.
