Question

Kinetic energy depends on:

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B Velocity

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy possessed by a body by the virtue of its motion.
$K.E=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$
From the above equation, we can conclude that,
Kinetic energy is
(1) Directly proportional to the mass of the object and
(2) Directly proportional to the square of the velocity.
