What happens to the kinetic energy of a snowball as it rolls across the lawn and gains mass?

Asked by kitty24

Answer (3)

Kinetic energy of a snowball will increase as it rolls across the lawn and gains mass. We already know that Kinetic energy is directly proportional to speed. We can express kinetic energy by the formula Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv^2 Now as the mass increases and the velocity remains constant, the kinetic energy of the snowball is bound to increase. I hope the explanation has helped you.

As a snowball rolls and gains mass, its kinetic energy increases if its speed remains constant. This is due to the kinetic energy formula K E = 2 1 ​ m v 2 , where kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass. Therefore, as mass increases, the kinetic energy of the snowball increases as well.
