Change the gravity or mass

Change the mass or velocity

Change the velocity or height

A baseball player has two bats in his baseball bag. Bat A has a mass of 2kg and Bat B has a mass of 2.5kg. Which bat has a greater kinetic energy when it's swung?

Bat A

Bat B

Both bats have the same amount of kinetic energy.

Three identical cars (so they all have the same mass) are traveling on the highway. Car A is traveling in the right lane at a speed of 55 mph. Car B is traveling in the middle lane at a speed of 75 mph. Car C is traveling in the left lane at a speed of 71 mph. Order the cars from the GREATEST kinetic energy to the LEAST kinetic energy
