Question

The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends on its.

Answer 1

The amount of kinetic energy of an object is dependent on the mass and the velocity of the body.

Kinetic Energy (K.E.)=1/2mv²

The S.I. unit of kinetic energy is joule(J).

Answer 2

Kinetic Energy of an object depends on mass and velocity of the object.

Kinetic Energy is a subtype of MECHANICAL ENERGY which is possessed by an object by the virtue of it's motion.

The general expression for Kinetic energy is :

$\boxed{ \bf KE = \dfrac{1}{2} \times m \times {v}^{2} }$

• Here, 'm' is mass of object
• 'v' is velocity of object

So, kinetic energy depends both on mass and velocity of the object.
