Question

Which factors are used to calculate the kinetic energy of an object? Check all that apply. gravity velocity volume mass height

Answer 1

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.
