Answer:
The kinetic energy of Havanna's ball is 9 times the kinetic energy of Mitzi's ball.
Explanation:
Let the velocity of Mitzi's ball = v₁
then, the velocity of Havanna's ball = 3v₁
Kinetic energy is given as;
K.E = ¹/₂mv²
Where;
m is mass of the object
v is velocity of the object
Kinetic energy of Mitzi's ball is given by;
K.E(m) = ¹/₂mv₁²
kinetic energy of Havanna's ball is given by;
K.E(H) = ¹/₂m(3v₁)²
K.E(H) = ¹/₂m x 9v₁²
K.E(H) = 9(¹/₂mv₁²)
K.E(H) = 9(K.E(m) )
Therefore, the kinetic energy of Havanna's ball is 9 times the kinetic energy of Mitzi's ball.
