etic energy is the energy of motion. The following two experiments were designed to explore
nether speed or mass plays a bigger role in delemining the amount of kinetic energy.
Speriment 1 was designed to test how speed afects kinetic energy The kinetic energy is
alcutated using a mass of 1.200 kg (mass of an average car) traveling at various speeds
he equation for calculating the kinetic energy of an object is KE-Cm
KE the kinetic energy of the object It is measured in the energy unit of joules (J). m the
mass of the object in klograms (kg)
Vthe speed of the object, measured in meters per second (m/s), which must be squared.
Note 1 joule1 kg x (m/s)
Complete the table for Experiment 1 and find the kinetic energy of the car at differentpeeds in
this experiment, mass is constant, which means that mass does not change.

1.120 Mercury metal is liquid at normal temperatures but
freezes at -38.9°C. What is this temperature in kelvins? in de-
grees Fahrenheit?
1.121 Zinc metal can be purified by distillation (transforming
the liquid metal to vapor, then condensing the vapor back to liq-
uid). The metal boils at normal atmospheric pressure at 1666°F.
What is this temperature in degrees Celsius? in kelvins?
L.122 lodine is a bluish-black solid. It forms a violet-colored
