Question

Kinetic energy depends on

• A. Position
• B. Velocity
• C. Shape
• D. Colour

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Velocity

Explanation:

1. Kinetic energy of any object is the measure of the work it can do by the virtue of its motion.
2. Mathematically,

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$

Where $m$= mass, $v$=velocity of an object.

Hence kinetic energy$(K.E)\propto v^2$

Kinetic energy varies directly as the square of velocity.

So kinetic energy is dependent of velocity.

Thus, the correct option is option B.
