Why does an ocean liner traveling at 100km per hour would have more kinetic energy than a yacht traveling at the same velocity.?

The difference is the mass of the moving object:
ocean liner some 10.000 to: yacht some 10 to
Theory:
W kin = kinetic energy
m = mass
v = velocity
W kin = 1/2 * m * v²
So the yacht would have to travel approx. 316 times faster than the ocean liner (when at 10 knots per hour) to have the same kinetic energy.

Which has more kinetic energy a motorcycle moving at 100km per hour or a truck moving at 100km per hour why?
KE = 1/2 mass *velocity squared A direct relationship. More mass, and a truck has more mass, and the more kinetic energy if velocities are held equal.
The speedometer of a car moving to the east reads 100km per hr and it passes another car that moves to the west at 100km per hr so do both cars have the same velocity please explain?
Velocity is direction and speed so the vehicle do not have the same velocity
What is the speed of a bus traveling 300 km in 3 hours?
300km in 3 hours = 100km per hour
When you say that a race car travels north at 100km per hour are you talking about velocity?
Yes. Velocity is a vector and therefore requires magnitude and direction: Magnitude: 100 kph Direction: North
How long does it take to travel 13 km traveling 100 km per hour?
It takes 7.8 minutes to travel 13km at 100km/h

What is the acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line at a constant speen of 100km h?
The acceleration of the car is 0 m/s^2 since it is traveling at a constant speed and not changing its velocity.

What is the net force of a car traveling at a steady speed of 100km per hour?
100
What is the speed of a bus traveling 300 km in 3 hours?
300km in 3 hours = 100km per hour
What is the acceleration of a car that maintains a constant velocity of 100km hr for 1 hour?
The acceleration of the car is 0 m/s^2, since it is maintaining a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and since the velocity is constant, there is no change in velocity and thus no acceleration in this case.

How long does it take to travel 13 km traveling 100 km per hour?
It takes 7.8 minutes to travel 13km at 100km/h
What is 175km to the nearest 100km?
175km to the nearest 100km is 200km
How many miles is in 100km?
100 kilometers is equivalent to about 62.14 miles.
How much time is 100km?
100km is a distance, not a measurement of time. (kilometres)
Which is faster 65mph or 100km?
65mph is faster (100km/h = 62.1mph).
