Question

What factors affect the kinetic energy?

Answer 1

Answer:

The factors affecting kinetic energy are:-

i . Mass

ii . Velocity

It is also affected by Momentum.

Answer 2

The two main factors that affect kinetic energy are mass and speed.

Explanation:

• The equation for Kinetic Energy is: $KE \ = \ \frac{1}{2} \ MV^{2}$
• The kinetic energy of a moving object is directly proportional to its mass and directly proportional to the square of its velocity. However, mass and velocity are indirectly related.
• This means that an object with twice the mass and equal speed will have twice the kinetic energy while an object with equal mass and twice the speed will have quadruple the kinetic energy.
