Question

Two objects are moving at equal speed along a level, frictionless surface. The second object has twice the mass of the first object. They both slide up the same frictionless incline plane. Which object rises to a greater height?

1-Object 2 rises to the greater height because it possesses a larger amount of kinetic energy. 2-Object 2 rises to the greater height because it contains more mass. 3-Object 1 rises to the greater height because it weighs less. 4-Object 1 rises to the greater height because it possesses a smaller amount of kinetic energy. 5-The two objects rise to the same height.

Explanation / Answer

5-The two objects rise to the same height.

mgh=0.5*m*V2

H=V2/2g does not depend on m
