Quantities that determine the kinetic energy of a body are its mass and velocity

Answer: mass and velocity

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion. It is given by the equation

$k= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where m represents mass of the body and v represents its velocity.

Two bodies of equal velocity but different mass the heavier body will have greater kinetic energy. When an object is at rest its velocity is equal to zero. Thus its kinetic energy will be zero. Hence it can be concluded that only moving bodies have kinetic energy.

Stationary objects placed at a height possess potential energy which is the energy by virtue of their position or configuration. The total mechanical energy of a system is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.

Which scale has 100 divisions from when the temperature when water freezes to the temperature when water boils

Westkost [7]

The Celsius scale ( $^{\circ} C$ ).

In the Celsius temperature scale, the temperature at which water freezes is set conventionally at $0^{\circ}C$ , while the temperature at which the water boils is set at $100^{\circ}C$ . The Celsius degree is then defined as the unit corresponding to 1/100 of this time interval, between the temperature of freezing and boiling of the water.
