Question

how is the kinetic energy of an object related to its mass?
kinetic energy increases as mass increases.
kinetic energy decreases as mass increases.
kinetic energy and mass must be equal for movement to occur
kinetic energy must be less than an objects mass for movement to occur.

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is \(K.E.=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\), where \(m\) is mass and \(v\) is velocity. When velocity \(v\) is constant, if mass \(m\) increases, the value of \(\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\) (kinetic energy) increases.

Answer:

Kinetic energy increases as mass increases.
