It depends on what type of caterpillar you are talking about. For instance, the woolly bear (or worm) stays in its cocoon from an average of ten to fifteen days. There are oth â¦ er ranges, of course, but that is because woolly bear caterpillars are so common throughout the world.
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
The amount of kinetic energy (KE) possessed by a moving object is dependent upon mass and speed. The equation for kinetic energy is. KE = 0.5 â¢ m â¢ v2. where m is the mass of the object (with standard units of kilograms) and v is the speed of the object (with standard units of m/s).The total mechanical energy possessed by an object is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies.here m is the mass of the object (with standard units of kilograms) and v is the speed of the object (with standard units of m/s). The total mechanical energy possessed by an object is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies.
