Question

On what factors does the kinetic energy of a body depend?

Answer 1

The energy possessed by an object due to its motion is called kinetic energy.

Mathematically it is given by,

$KE=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$

where $m$ is the mass and $v$ is the velocity of the object.

Thus the kinetic energy of a body or object depends upon its velocity and mass.
