Question

The kinetic energy of a body is increased by increasing its:

• A. Mass
• B. Weight
• C. Velocity
• D. Potential energy

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A Mass
C Velocity

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

(where, $m=$ mass of the body and $v=$ velocity)

$KE\propto m{v}^2$

Kinetic energy can be increased by either increasing mass or velocity.
