When a ball is thrown inside a moving bus, does its kinetic energy depend on the speed of the bus? Explain.

Academic Physics NCERT Class 9

As known that the kinetic energy of a body is directly proportional to the square of the velocity of the body. so, when the ball is thrown inside the bus, its velocity gets added up with the velocity of the bus. Therefore, its kinetic energy depends on the velocity of the bus.

How does the kinetic energy of a moving body depend on its (i) speed, and (ii) mass?
On what factors does the kinetic energy of a body depend?
A ball is thrown vertically upwards. Its velocity keeps on decreasing. What happens to its kinetic energy when its reaches the maximum height?Kinetic energy is doubleKinetic energy is zeroKinetic energy is maximum at maximum heightKinetic energy is half of initial value
The distance between two bus stops is 5 km. A bus travels the distance in 20 min. What is the speed of the bus? Also, convert it into $\frac{m}{s}$ . Can it also be called as the average speed of the bus?
The distance between two bus stops is 5 km, a bus travels the distance in 20 min. What is the speed of the bus? Also, convert it in meters per second. Can it also be called as the average speed of the bus?
The kinetic energy of an object of mass ‘$m$’ moving with a velocity of $5\ ms^{-1}$ is $25\ J$. What will be its kinetic energy when its velocity is doubled ?
When a ball is thrown vertically upwards, its velocity goes on decreasing. What happens to its potential energy as its velocity becomes zero?
A ball is dropped from a height of 10 m:a. Its potential energy increases and kinetic energy decreases during the fallsb. Its potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy during the fall.c. The potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases during the fall.d. The potential energy is zero and kinetic energy is maximum while it is falling.
A car is accelerated on a levelled road and attains a speed of 4 times its initial speed. In this process, the kinetic energy of the car:(a) does not change(b) becomes 4 times that of initial kinetic energy(c) becomes 8 times that of initial kinetic energy(d) becomes 16 times that of initial kinetic energy
