Answer:

Mass and speed

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy of motion of an object is also called kinetic energy, and it is defined as


K=(1)/(2)mv^2

where m is the mass of the object and v its speed.

From the formula, we see therefore that the energy of motion of an object depends linearly on its mass and quadratically on its speed.
