ОО
D. An object's velocity

Answer 1

its A the object's height

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A. An object's height

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work. The two (2) main types of energy are;

a. Kinetic energy (KE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

`K.E = (1)/(2)MV^(2)`

Where;

• K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.
• M represents mass measured in kilograms.
• V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

b. Potential energy (PE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

`P.E = mgh`

Where,

• P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
• m represents the mass of an object.
• g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
• h represents the height measured in meters.

Hence, the characteristic that is related to potential energy but not kinetic energy is the height of a physical object.
