Two objects of same material are travelling near you. object a is a 1.4 kg mass traveling 14.2 m/s; object b is a 2 kg mass traveling 5 m/s. which object would make you feel worse if you are hit by it?

Object A

Explanation:

given,

Object A

mass,m₁ = 1.4 Kg

speed of the car,v₁ = 14.2 m/s

object B

mass,m₂ = 2 Kg

speed,v₂ = 5 m/s

Kinetic energy of the object will be absorbed by you when it hit you.

   KE₁ = 141.148 J

kinetic energy of the object B

    KE₂ = 25 J

Hence, the Object A will feel worse if hit you because of the kinetic energy of the object A is more.

d. platinum would have the greatest temperature increase because it has the lowest specific heat.
