Kinetic energy depends on the ____________ and velocity of an object.
a
weight
b
acceleration
c
motion
d
mass
d. mass
(1/2) m v^2
This is the formula for kinetic energy, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity.
The correct answer is d) mass.
To determine the kinetic energy of an object, you need to know its mass and velocity. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object due to its motion. It depends on both the mass and velocity of the object. The formula for kinetic energy is:
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2
This formula indicates that the mass of the object has a direct impact on its kinetic energy. The greater the mass, the greater the kinetic energy, provided the velocity remains constant. Similarly, the velocity of the object also affects the kinetic energy. The greater the velocity, the greater the kinetic energy, as long as the mass remains constant.
