- Velocity
- Kinetic Energy (correct)
- Mass
- Time
What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?
What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?
- KE = MV
- KE = M/V
- KE = MV²/2 (correct)
- KE = M²V/2
How does the time needed for the transfer of energy affect the severity of physical injuries?
How does the time needed for the transfer of energy affect the severity of physical injuries?
- The shorter the time needed, the greater the likelihood of producing damage (correct)
- The longer the time needed, the greater the likelihood of producing damage
- The time needed affects the type of injury, not the severity
- The time needed has no effect on the severity of physical injuries
