Kinetic energy

• What is the equation for kinetic energy?


  $E_k =$$\frac{1}{2} mu^2$
• What does kinetic energy represent in an object?

  Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
• How does speed affect kinetic energy?

  The more speed an object has, the more kinetic energy it possesses.
• How does mass affect kinetic energy?

  The more mass an object has, the more kinetic energy it possesses.
• What are the two main factors that affect kinetic energy?

  • Speed of the object
  • Mass of the object
