Question

Kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square root of its velocity.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Kinetic energy (KE) $=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$

where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity.

$\therefore$ Kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity.

Hence, the given statement is false.
