(a) Energy is defined as the ability to do work and joule is the SI unit of energy.
(b) Following are the various forms of energy:
Kinetic energy, potential energy, nuclear energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, sound energy, light energy, and heat energy.
(c) Let the mass of both the bodies be m
Velocity of body 1, v1 = v
Velocity of body 2, v2 = 2v
KE1 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mv2 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) m(v1)2
KE2 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mv2 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) m(v2)2
Ratio = KE1 : KE2 = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
