Free points + brainliest? answer these correctly! as an object in motion becomes heavier, its kinetic energy a. increases exponentially b. decreases exponentially c. increases proportionally d. decreases proportionally

As an object in motion speeds up or "becomes heavier", its kinetic energy increases proportionally: double the velocity and you quadruple the kinetic energy. This is why a tiny bullet traveling at high speed does so much more damage than a huge truck bumping into something at 1 mph.

Choice C

the answer to the question is punishment. or more specifically, positive punishment.

positive punishment occurs when a behavior is given a negative consequence for the individual doing the behavior.

sara no longer wants to ask questions (the behavior) because she is ridiculed by mr. smith (the punishment).

reinforcement is inaccurate because reinforcement always gives positive consequences for the individual doing the behavior, be it by introducing a pleasant consequence or removing an unpleasant one.
