Kinetic Energy and Relative Motion
Two identical objects A and B each have mass m and move in opposite directions with speeds vA and vB relative to the ground. If the total kinetic energy of the system as measured by a ground observer is 3mv², what is the kinetic energy of object B as measured by an observer moving with object A?
A
Cannot be determined from the given information
B
4mv²
C
3mv²
D
2mv²
