Question

State two factors on which the kinetic energy of a body depends.

Answer 1

Two factors on which the kinetic energy of a body depends are:-

1. The kinetic energy is the measure of the work that an object does by virtue of its motion.
   $$\begin{gathered} K.E=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2 \\ m=massoftheobject,v=speedoftheobject \end{gathered}$$
2. Mass of the body - the greater the mass, the greater will be the kinetic energy.
3. Speed of the body - the greater the speed, the greater will be its kinetic energy.
