Question

How does mass influence the kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

KE = mv²/2 or (1/2)mv²

so assume v = 2 and m = 3 then the KE would be 6. Now assume v = 2 and m = 2 then KE would be 4, so the KE increases if the mass increases and velocity is constant.

PE = mgh

g = 10 assume h = 10 and m = 10

then PE = 1000

now g = 10 h = 10 but m = 5

then PE = 500 so, if m decreases, pe also decreases

Answer 2

The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has. The more mass an object has, the more kinetic energy it has.
